Guest: Prof. Daniel Solove, George Washington University Law School.Artificial intelligence is radically shifting how our personal information is collected, shared and analyzed — and our traditional privacy laws are scrambling to keep up. In this episode we sit down with privacy scholar Prof. Solove, a leading expert on privacy law, to explore how AI is exposing the limits of the American right to privacy. From the third‑party doctrine to the landmark decision in Carpenter v. United States, Solove traces how government reliance on privately‑gathered data enables surveillance to expand without constitutional oversight. He argues that the privacy framework built for discrete searches is ill‑suited to a world of continuous, AI‑driven streams of personal data. Tune in to understand where we are, how we got here, and what might come next for privacy in the AI era.Daniel Solove is a professor of law at George Washington University Law School and a leading scholar on privacy and data protection.For attorneys, a CLE version of this interview can be found at www.talksonlaw.com (https://www.talksonlaw.com) or by following this link (https://www.talksonlaw.com/talks/the-ai-threat-to-privacy).

The growing integration of AI models across industries has ignited fierce legal battles over the training of large language models (LLMs) and the use of copyrighted material. Columbia Law Professor Shyam Balganesh sits down with AI Lawyer to unpack the intricate legal questions surrounding AI and copyright, highlighting how LLMs depend on extensive datasets, often incorporating copyrighted works, to generate their outputs. High-profile cases, such as The New York Times v. OpenAI and Getty Images v. Stable Diffusion, are forcing courts to decide whether the use of copyrighted material for AI training qualifies as fair use or infringes on intellectual property rights.In this episode, Professor Balganesh discusses the technical intricacies of AI model training, the fair use doctrine’s role in AI litigation, and how the future may shift toward licensing models to resolve these disputes. Balganesh offers an inside look at the evolving legal landscape and what it could mean for the future of AI development.Shyam Balganesh (https://www.talksonlaw.com/speakers/professor-shyam-balganesh) is a professor of law at Columbia Law School.

Increased adoption of AI by law firms raises questions about how lawyers can harness artificial intelligence consistent with their professional responsibilities. Georgetown Law Professor Tanina Rostain answers questions about the transformative impact of AI on law and how the rules of professional conduct apply to the new ways that attorneys are using AI tech to conduct research, draft documents, and interact with clients. As AI models show increasing proficiency in performing legal work, when may technology cross the line into unauthorized practice of law (UPL). Professor Rostain discusses what constitutes the “practice of law” when it comes to AI and suggests that the legal profession may eventually need to bend. According to Rostain, the benefits of AI for people who need legal assistance cannot be stifled by financial protectionism with superficial claims of protecting the public.Tanina Rostain (https://www.talksonlaw.com/speakers/professor-tanina-rostain) is a professor of law at Georgetown Law Center.
