Manatt Digital Law and Technology Policy Forum Webinar Series Episode 18: Applicability of Federal and State Laws to AI-Related Risks

In today’s fast‑evolving digital landscape, professionals across technology and law must stay ahead of rapidly shifting policies and global regulatory trends. From artificial intelligence (AI) to data protection, the pace of change demands ongoing adaptation to stay competitive.

Join host , Partner in Manatt’s Digital and Technology Group and , Associate in Manatt’s Corporate and Finance Group for Episode 18 of the Digital Law and Technology Policy Forum Webinar Series. This session explores the question at the center of today’s AI policy debate: to what extent do existing laws already govern AI-related conduct?

Episode 18: Applicability of Federal and State Laws to AI-Related Risks 

Based on the memorandum prepared by Manatt for the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), the webinar examines the growing body of federal and state laws already governing the development, deployment and use of AI systems, and how these existing legal frameworks are being applied to issues such as algorithmic bias, automated decision-making, privacy, cybersecurity, AI-generated content, intellectual property, consumer protection and product liability. Tod and Janice will also examine recent litigation and enforcement trends, as well as the ongoing debate surrounding frontier AI safety and security. Attendees will gain a practical understanding of the current legal landscape and key considerations for organizations developing AI governance, risk management and compliance strategies in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.

Attendees are encouraged to review the full memorandum, , in advance of the webinar.
