"As AI becomes more mainstream and more used, it'll start to impact other pieces of legal issues in ways that we haven't necessarily thought of right now," said Joshua Curry, a partner in the Atlanta office of Lewis Brisbois, and a vice-chair of the firm's intellectual property and technology practice.
