If you own a law firm, there’s a lot to like about AI. It can make you way more efficient, without adding staff. Take a darker view, and AI means that you can potentially let go of current staff, in favor of an AI tool (or, tools ), that can replace existing staff. Now, of course, your employees aren’t dumb – you wouldn’t have hired them, if they were – and, they realize this.

We have previously discussed laws that seek to criminalize “materially deceptive” political content worldwide, including memes and parodies. A civil law was blocked in California, where satirists and comedians opposed a Democratic law barring parodies and other expressions considered misleading.
