The rise of regulation (and shadowAI?)
I've highlighted the EU's Artificial Intelligence Act when it was under development, but now it is official. "The passing of the new EU AI Act gives developers and customers just 6 months to conform to new legislation that bans prohibited practices, such as AI applications that threaten citizens' rights, including biometric categorisation systems based on sensitive characteristics and untargeted scraping of facial images from the internet or CCTV footage." These are the first comprehensive laws related to AI and it will be interesting to see if the US and other countries follow suit. Paired nice with this first post is another on industry reactions to the passing of the act. Forrester analyst writes, "Like it or not, with this regulation, the EU establishes the 'de facto' standard for trustworthy AI, AI risk mitigation, and responsible AI. Every other region can only play catch-up." Gigamon's technical evangelist warns of shadow AI, "Shadow AI is the latest addition to the overall Shadow IT stable, which poses risk to organisations by introducing new back doors, footholds and data storage sites that security leaders are unaware of, and therefore unable to factor into their overall security posture." Diligent talks comliance and warns that the fines for failure to comply can be very steep. Read more at

Lawyer behaving badly w/genAI
Bob Ambrogi lets us know of another lawyer behaving badly with genAI. This time it's Thomas Grant Neusom out of Florida. It seems the US District Court for the Middle District of Florida was not pleased with his fabricated filings and after a consult with the disciplinary committee, suspended him for a year. To me this is a more appropriate and proportional punishment. Read more at

roll-a-mAgIc
I'm going to lump these two "sponsored" posts together. First from LexisNexis, we've got a post with some very interesting dichotomies. 80% of clients expect their outside counsel bills to be reduced by genAI while only 9% of law firms leaders saw they are hearing that from their clients. The second post is from Thomson Reuters with one of the boldest headlines I've seen in a while. TR claims AI can "do large-scale data analysis faster and better than before." It can "handle non-billable administrative work with more precision, reducing errors and costs." It can "reduce revenue loss from write-offs." It
slices and it dices. Unfortunately, nowhere in either post is a discuss how to offset what can be some VERY hefty enterprise AI pricing. I guess that's a subject the sponsors don't want to talk about. Read more about the mAgIc at:
