    AI Dilemma: Can US Legislators Take Action Before It's Too Late?

    Deepfakes. Disinformation. Algorithmic bias. Job displacement. These are just some of the harms legislators and regulators worry about when they think about how to tackle the risks posed by artificial intelligence. The first episodes of this season of UnCommon Law deal with generative AI in the copyright law context, since the technology uses massive amounts of copyright protected work.

Allen, founder of Art Incarnate Sy Damle, partner in the copyright litigation group at Latham & Watkins Karla Ortiz, artist Kelly McKernan, artist Delanie West, advocacy liaison for the Graphic Artists Guild Genel Jumalon, artist
