AlphaGo’s 2016 Move 37 showcased AI’s potential, like atom splitting.

Assuming AI is in its Day 1 amoeba phase, we must be prepared for when it becomes a Day 2 behemoth.

1-7

In 1-7 years, AI may act independently, beyond human control, raising critical issues of aligning algorithms with human values.

By 2030, AI-driven automation could displace approximately 12 million U.S. workers. 4

Algorithms used in financial services that mislead or manipulate users into fraudulent transactions could result in claims for financial loss.

AlphaGo’s 2016 victory with Move 37 showcased Al’s unprecedented capabilities. After 2,500 years of human dominance in Go—a strategy board game originating in China around 500 BCE, and much more complex than chess—a silicon-based system quickly outperformed organic intelligence in a game that had challenged human ability for millennia.

Assuming Al is now in its ‘Day 1’ amoeba phase, we must consider what will happen as it rapidly evolves into a technological juggernaut, possibly within the next 1-7 years. One that has agency-inorganically capable of independent decision-making and reshaping human life, from governance to economics, in domains once solely controlled by humans. Technological singularity may be closer than we think.

Overview

We help clients navigate the evolving risks and challenges posed by rapidly advancing AI to help protect their rights and interests.

Corporations may be held responsible for the actions of their algorithms.

Autonomous AI Risks

As AI rapidly advances, its legal, ethical, and societal implications grow exponentially. Our AI law practice guides clients through the evolving risks posed by these transformative technologies, advocating for ethical and responsible use within legal boundaries. Central to our approach is addressing the ‘alignment problem’—the risk that AI could act counter to human values, as illustrated by Nick Bostrom’s ‘paperclip’ scenario, a challenge made more complex by the fact that human values themselves are not aligned.

AI pioneer and Nobel Prize winner in physics Geoffrey Hinton has also warned of the existential threat AI may pose if it gains control, raising concerns about humanity’s future in the face of autonomous superintelligence that vastly surpasses the collective intelligence of humankind.

Clients may seek compensation for harm caused by AI-driven vehicles, drones, or machinery that malfunctions, leading to personal injury or property damage.

Your Rights

Class Actions: Class actions can address widespread AI-driven data breaches, allowing victims to collectively seek compensation for privacy violations, identity theft, and financial loss caused by poor security practices, faulty algorithms, or unlawful AI systems.
Data Privacy Violations: AI systems mishandling personal data may lead to privacy claims under laws like GDPR and CCPA, helping protect individuals from unauthorized data use.
Intellectual Property Violations: AI systems that infringe upon patented technologies, copyrights, or trade secrets may result in intellectual property claims.
Emotional Distress: Victims may seek compensation for significant emotional distress caused by biased or harmful AI affecting reputation or livelihood.
AI Fraud and Misuse: Compensation may be sought for financial losses resulting from fraudulent use of AI in financial services or cryptocurrency schemes.

Legal claims may involve misuse of AI in surveillance, defense, or law enforcement that results in unlawful harm, privacy violations, or wrongful death.
