Companies and their business partners around the world are rapidly adopting and implementing artificial intelligence.  This creates a myriad of legal issues, but many of those issues find a root in and work off the legal issues that we, as lawyers, have been confronting for years.  

This remote learning session features a team of Baker Botts experts led by Partner, RICH HARPER moderated by Chapter President, CATHERINE QUINLAN, VP, AI, IBM. The discussion will cover several of the hottest AI-related legal issues arising today and strategies for how to successfully manage them.  

Topics will range from the impact of AI on data privacy to ethical obligations arising for the Legal Department.

Become familiar with two recent trends in marketing law: 

• “We’ll donate $1 to charity for every purchase of our widget” is becoming a more very common marketing tool, but did you know that almost half of the states have specific laws regulating these promotions? 
• Another newly-popular marketing tool is a brand’s use of influencers to promote their product on social media.  The FTC has recently stepped up enforcement of its regulations on social media influencers.

The presentation will help you navigate through this developing field and give you the opportunity to learn more about:

• Cause marketing and commercial coventures, including contractual, advertising & registration requirements;
• The newly-enacted CA AB-488 affecting online charitable solicitations;
• The FTC guidelines for influencers and endorsements; and
• Recent FTC enforcement activities against social media influencers.

UPDATE: THIS EVENT WILL NOW BE HELD VIA ZOOM WEBINAR

Gaming is a hot topic these days. Sports wagering is legal in a majority of the states and big cities like Chicago are in the process of giving out a lucrative casino license. Companies love to offer games to drive business to their website and people just want to place wagers online. But, what do you need to know in order to do business with operators in this industry, what to be on the lookout for when your company wants to run a contest and what is the scoop on sports wagering?  This panel will discuss and provide insights on these and other topics.

Join us to hear:

• How to work with operators in this highly regulated industry
