Margaux's Insights
Client Alert | 06.19.24
AI is currently attracting a lot of attention, and not only for the stunning pace at which we have embraced AI for writing office speeches, shopping lists or mathematical formulas, or for creating illustrations or improving the visuals of slide shows. Lawyers have also started paying attention to AI, with analyses of copyright infringements in input and output, anti-competitive concerted behavior (such as price fixing) or violations of personality and privacy rights with deep fakes imitating celebrities’ images or voices.
