With the increased prevalence and adoption of AI tools, including as add-ons to many existing programs that enterprises use, companies are facing serious problems with their confidential information being collected and accessed. And no, in some cases, paying extra for an enterprise-level license will not save you.

Developers use artists’ works to train their generative AI models. Those models can then create new visual works, even in the style of a specific artist. So, is this copyright infringement, fair use, or something else entirely? Here, AMBART LLC examines the claims and motions to dismiss in Andersen v.

The SEC recently charged four companies (Unisys Corp., Avaya Holdings Corp., Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., and Mimecast Limited) for making misleading cybersecurity disclosures, in enforcement actions that saw a total of $6.985 million in penalties. The critical issue here is not that these companies suffered cybersecurity attacks—as breaches today are almost impossible to prevent—but that their cybersecurity disclosures downplayed the impact of the attacks. Each company learned in 2020 or 2021 that the threat actor behind the SolarWinds Orion cyberattacks had accessed their systems without authorization, but instead minimized the impact of the breach and/or the quantity of files and credentials that had been accessed.

The EU's Artificial Intelligence Act, which came into force on August 1, 2024, is a comprehensive law designed to regulate AI technologies within the EU, focusing on ensuring AI systems are safe, transparent, and respect fundamental rights. It categorizes AI systems based on risk levels—unacceptable, high-risk, and low-risk—prohibiting those applications it considers unacceptable and imposing strict requirements on higher-risk categories. The Act also emphasizes AI literacy, the promotion of trustworthy AI, and the need for clear responsibilities across the AI lifecycle, from development to deployment.

As Generative AI tools grow increasingly capable of creating realistic images and voices, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed new rules to enhance transparency in political advertising, particularly regarding AI-generated content. Instead of outright banning AI-generated political ads, however, the rules would require disclosures from cable TV, radio, and some online platforms.
