September 15, 2025 - AI's Legal Frontier: Innovation, Regulation, and Rights

Welcome to 'AI Lawyer Talking Tech,' where we explore the dynamic intersection of artificial intelligence and the legal world. Today, we delve into a landscape undergoing significant transformation, as AI rapidly revolutionizes legal practice, from streamlining complex medical record reviews and automating case management tasks to enhancing access to justice. This powerful technology is democratizing expertise and offering unprecedented efficiencies, with agentic AI systems now able to interpret complex objectives and execute multistep workflows with industry-standard precision. However, alongside these advancements come substantial challenges. We'll examine the escalating legal battles over content ownership and intellectual property, with publishers confronting tech giants like Google and AI services such as Perplexity AI over unauthorized content use, copyright infringement, and revenue impact. We'll also discuss critical ethical and regulatory questions, including the debate around granting legal rights to AI systems and the emerging field of "model welfare". Furthermore, we will consider the FTC's inquiries into AI safeguards for children and the controversial use of AI in authorizing Medicare treatments, which has drawn bipartisan criticism. Finally, we'll touch on the imperative for human oversight, the risks of AI "hallucinations" in legal filings, how law firms can protect their AI innovations through patent eligibility, and the evolving demands of digital marketing in this technologically advanced era.Penske Media Challenges Google Over AI Content Practices2025-09-14 | InvestorsHangout.comBritannica, Merriam-Webster Sue Perplexity in Escalating AI Copyright Battle2025-09-13 | TekediaShould AI Get Legal Rights?2025-09-13 | Stephen's LighthouseFTC Inquires AI Companies on Safeguards for Children and Pilot Program Uses AI to Authorize Medicare Treatments — AI: The Washington Report2025-09-13 | Mintz LevinThe Balancing Act: Tracking Technology Trends and Risk Mitigation Techniques2025-09-12 | JD SupraPresident Trump Might Extend The TikTok Ban Again Next Week, But Should He?2025-09-12 | Forbes.comSuspended lawyer accused of citing hallucinated case in bid to reinstate law license2025-09-12 | ABA JournalHow Clients Find Lawyers in 2025 (And What It Means for Your Firm)2025-09-12 | Articles, Tips and Tech for Law Firms and LawyersFor Agentic AI, Intelligence Is Only Half The Battle2025-09-12 | Crunch BaseAI in Arbitration: A Perspective from Chile2025-09-12 | Clyde & CoEmpowering Law Firm Leaders Podcast: How to plan for your firm’s success2025-09-12 | Legal FuturesLawfront selects GenAI marketplace Jylo: “This is about democratising expertise”2025-09-12 | Legal Technology InsiderScotland’s lawtech boom can take our legal firms to a new level2025-09-12 | Insider.co.ukLovable, Harvey Does A2J, Legora, LegalOn, LexisNexis2025-09-12 | Artificial LawyerLawfront chooses Jylo as key AI platform for its regional leader law firms2025-09-12 | Legal Technology News - Legal IT Professionals | Everything legal technologyGoodwin Announces Successful Roll Out of AI Legal Platform Legora Firmwide2025-09-12 | Legal Technology News - Legal IT Professionals | Everything legal technologyHow Agentic AI enables Legal Case Management Automation2025-09-12 | Legaltech on MediumFTC Announces Children’s Privacy Enforcements and Launches AI Chatbot Inquiry2025-09-12 | Nelson MullinsHelpful Reminders for Patent Eligibility of AI, Machine Learning, and Other Software-Related Inventions2025-09-12 | McCarter & EnglishDOE Opportunity to Lease INL Land for AI Data Centers and Integrated Energy Infrastructure2025-09-12 | Holland & KnightFrom Algorithm to Asset – Protecting AI Innovations2025-09-12 | CooleyHow AI Is Revolutionizing Medical Record Review for Legal Teams2025-09-11 | BusinessABCHigh Point University Celebrates Grand Opening of Law School2025-09-11 | InvestorsHangout.com
