June 13, 2025 - AI in Law: Shaping the Future of Practice

Welcome to 'AI Lawyer Talking Tech,' your weekly exploration into the dynamic intersection of artificial intelligence and the legal profession. In today's episode, we delve into how AI is profoundly reshaping legal practice, from internal operations to client interactions and the delivery of legal services. We'll discuss the emerging legal and regulatory frameworks taking shape, including New York's new law on personalized algorithmic pricing and AI companions, which mandates transparency and safety protocols. We'll also examine the far-reaching EU AI Act, a comprehensive legal framework with global impact that categorizes AI systems by risk and applies extraterritorially, requiring U.S. organizations to evaluate and update their AI governance programs. The conversation will also cover the growing intellectual property challenges, as highlighted by landmark copyright infringement lawsuits against AI image generators like Midjourney, addressing concerns over the unauthorized use of copyrighted content and the ethical boundaries of AI creativity. Furthermore, we'll explore the transformative power of agentic AI in automating tedious tasks, analyzing unstructured data, and improving efficiency for law firms, along with its potential in evaluating complex forensic evidence more cautiously and scientifically. We'll also touch upon the importance of optimizing online presence through Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) in this new era of AI-driven search, which demands structured data and authoritative content. Join us as we consider these vital developments, understanding the opportunities and complexities that AI introduces to the legal world, and how legal professionals can continue to thrive and adapt in this evolving landscape.NY Passes Law Governing Personalized Algorithmic Pricing; AI Companions13 Jun 2025JD SupraDisney and Universal Take Legal Action Against A.I.
