AI & Emerging Technologies - Legal Guidance for an Evolving Landscape

Artificial intelligence has quietly existed in various forms for decades, but the rapid rise of generative AI—accelerated by OpenAI’s ChatGPT in late 2022—has ushered in an era of widespread adoption. Large multimodal models (LMMs), graph neural networks (GNNs), and other foundational model types are now deeply embedded in business technology, influencing nearly every industry. Whether through AI-driven chatbots, process automation, or intelligent agents, AI is now integral to web services, social media, supply chain management, CRM, finance, accounting, and advertising technology.

However, AI remains an evolving and unpredictable field. Despite ongoing advancements, generative AI models can still produce hallucinations, inaccuracies, biased outputs, and security vulnerabilities – all resulting in liabilities for providers, deployers, and users. As businesses increasingly integrate AI, they must also navigate a fast-changing regulatory environment. Governments and industry bodies at every level—local, state, national, and international—are rapidly introducing new laws, compliance mandates, and ethical guidelines, creating a complex and often uncertain legal landscape.

If your company develops, deploys, markets, or utilizes AI technology, our firm has the expertise to guide and represent you in the AI legal landscape. Long before the mainstream adoption of generative AI, BAYPOINT LAW advised clients on earlier iterations of AI, including expert systems. And for firsthand insight into how software engineers and data scientists build models, platforms, and applications, continuous training and ongoing time embedded in AI product development environments is at the forefront for BAYPOINT LAW. With over two decades of experience in AI-related legal matters, the firm is uniquely positioned to help you mitigate risks, ensure compliance, and protect your business in this rapidly shifting space.

Laws & Standards - Notes

  • United States: Unlike the EU, The U.S. currently lacks a unified federal AI law, relying instead, on executive actions, individual state-level legislation, and voluntary frameworks. This creates a complex patchwork of AI regulations that require careful navigation.

  • Worlwide: The EU AI Act has extraterritorial effects, influencing global standards. In the absence of overarching U.S. legislation, many U.S. organizations have adopted the EU AI Act in part or whole for developing internal and customer facing policies.
