When Precedents Are Few and Uncertainty Is High, You Need an Attorney You Can Trust

Due to the rapid evolution of this technology—and the regulations regarding it—the roadmap for AI litigation isn’t always linear.

Whether you’re defending against AI misuse or bringing claims, entering negotiations or the courtroom without up-to-date information can lead to costly consequences.

Common AI litigation challenges across a range of scenarios include:

Lack of legal precedents

Established case law is growing, but sparse. This can make predicting outcomes and developing legal strategies challenging.

Complex technical concepts

Building a case, let alone explaining technical AI concepts to the court, requires strong communication skills and solid technological understanding.

Ethical considerations

Public perception of ethics in any given use case for AI may impact the viewpoints of judges and juries.

Cross-jurisdictional challenges

When AI programs are used across borders, interstate or even international legislation can come into play.

E-discovery difficulties

Some AI systems have a “black box” nature, adding a layer of difficulty to accessing and presenting evidence of causation or fault.

Hard-to-quantify damages

Settlement negotiations and trial outcomes often hinge on the damages involved, but clear guidelines for calculating these damages in AI cases are still lacking.

Contractual ambiguities

In AI-related disputes, ambiguous contract terms often complicate the determination of liability. These unclear terms must be carefully analyzed and clarified to establish a solid foundation for your case.

Rapidly evolving legal landscape

Attorneys and other stakeholders must keep pace with advancements in the field to provide competent and informed representation.

FAQs about AI Litigation

How are courts approaching AI litigation?

As we wait for further AI-specific legislation, judges are carefully analyzing how existing laws should be applied to novel AI issues. Rather than proceeding based on popular opinion or “hype,” many courts require detailed technical information for cases to proceed.

What strategies are AI companies using to defend against lawsuits?

Thus far, common defenses include:

Claiming that First Amendment protections apply to AI outputs
Applying Section 230 immunity for platforms that host AI-generated content
Arguing that publicly available data is legal to “scrape”
Claiming that plaintiffs have failed to show concrete harm (lack of standing)
Arguing that training data use is transformative and thus falls under the fair use doctrine

Who should be held liable when AI systems cause harm?

AI-related liability is a rapidly developing area of law. System transparency, adherence to industry regulations and standards, and human oversight all play a role.

Parties that may be held liable depending on the circumstances might include:

Organizations using and deploying AI
Individuals who are responsible for AI oversight
Developers and companies that create AI systems
Training data suppliers
Manufacturers making hardware for AI-powered product

How are intellectual property rights determined for AI-generated content?

While some people argue that AI-generated content should enter the public domain, others disagree. Currently, many jurisdictions don’t consider AI systems to be “authors” or “inventors.” Instead, copyright may belong to the humans who designed the system or provided creative input.
