Digital Technology Group Chair Katherine Forrest spoke with Law360 about the impact of AI on the legal industry and on U.S. democracy. In a Q&A published on March 12, Katherine discusses her work training clients and the judiciary on a wide range of AI-related topics. She also comments on AI’s potential to enable access to justice and increase lawyer efficiency, expected types of AI-related litigation—such as algorithmic bias, fraud, IP and competition cases—and AI’s ability to spread disinformation, among other topics.
