June 10, 2025 - AI and the Shifting Sands of Legal Tech

Welcome to 'AI Lawyer Talking Tech'. Today, we dive into the rapidly evolving landscape where artificial intelligence meets the legal and technology sectors. We explore how AI is reshaping legal access and dispute resolution, while also presenting significant challenges, such as concerns about accuracy, bias, and accountability. Recent incidents in the UK courts, where lawyers cited fake case precedents generated by AI, underscore the critical need for human oversight and verification. The US Copyright Office is staking out its position on using copyrighted works for AI training, addressing prima facie infringement, fair use, and potential licensing models. Meanwhile, companies like Definely are securing significant funding to develop AI-powered legal workflow solutions aimed at transforming legal workflows by moving towards more autonomous systems. We also examine the increasing regulatory focus on AI governance globally, from dedicated government ministries in the Commonwealth Caribbean and new AI supervisory agencies in Spain to legal battles over neural data privacy in states like Montana, California, and Colorado. The financing environment for tech, particularly robotics, faces its own hurdles despite rebounds in investment, highlighting the need for strategic partnerships and protection of intellectual property, especially with the integration of AI. Join us as we discuss these pivotal developments and their implications.Don’t Mind If I Do: Montana Says Hands Off Neural Data10 Jun 2025Perkins CoieThe Financing Environment and Current Trends in Robotics10 Jun 2025Mintz LevinScaling justice: How AI and ADR are reshaping legal access09 Jun 2025Thomson ReutersAI Scandal Rocks British Courts: UK Lawyers Slammed For Citing Fake Cases Generated By Bots09 Jun 2025International Business Times UKDear Editor: Time for Commonweath Caribbean to prioritise AI governance09 Jun 2025Wired868How to succeed as a startup General Counsel09 Jun 2025Thomson ReutersHow Brent Dyer Reframes Biglaw, And What In-House Counsel Should Expect Instead09 Jun 2025Above The LawAI Victim Impact Statements Are Here, and They Are Just as Disastrous as You’d Expect09 Jun 2025Balls and StrikesUK judge warns lawyers of consequences for misusing AI in court filings09 Jun 2025JuristGetty Images vs. Stability AI: Landmark UK Copyright Lawsuit Begins09 Jun 2025Win BuzzerGetty legal action against AI photo firm is ‘day of reckoning’, start of trial hears09 Jun 2025Press GazetteA firm of one's own09 Jun 2025Law Society GazetteHow Digital Forensics Drive Smarter Investigations09 Jun 2025JD SupraRaising the bar: 2025 innovation in the legal sector09 Jun 2025RaconteurHalf of Brits would trust AI for legal advice, survey finds – but experts urge caution09 Jun 2025Business Matters MagazineHigh Court warns lawyers over AI use after ‘fake’ cases cited in submissions09 Jun 2025Legal CheekLIDW 2025: Arbitration in Emerging Industries (Tech, Fintech and Crypto): Global Risks and Local Differences09 Jun 2025Kluwer Arbitration BlogDefinely raises the bar: AI startup secures $30M to transform legal workflows09 Jun 2025Tech Funding NewsOpenAI Legal Issues: Data Retention After Chat Deletion09 Jun 2025TechBullionSmart Strategies for Gen AI in Law Firms09 Jun 2025PatheosScaling justice: How AI and ADR are reshaping legal access09 Jun 2025Thomson Reuters InstituteAnswer Engine Optimization (AEO): Is Your Law Firm Website AEO-Friendly?09 Jun 2025Legal Marketing & Technology BlogDefinely Raises $30m + In-depth Interview09 Jun 2025Artificial LawyerInterrogating AI, Legal or Illegal?09 Jun 2025Cole SchotzCopyright Office Stakes Out Position on Use of Works for AI Training09 Jun 2025Perkins CoieAI Watch: Global regulatory tracker - Spain09 Jun 2025White & CaseWhat is Constitutional AI and Why Does it Matter for International Arbitration?07 Jun 2025Kluwer Arbitration Blog
