Jones Day Talks Technology includes discussions related to e-business, e-discovery, fintech, privacy, cybersecurity, autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence, robotics, blockchain, digital currencies, and emerging growth technology companies.
As its potential uses soar, Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to attract the attention of multiple regulatory agencies. A recent high-profile U.S. Senate hearing made it clear that the use of AI must be consistent with federal laws pertaining to fair lending, housing, employment, and similar situations.
Jones Day’s Dorothy Giobbe and Alexander Maugeri discuss the legal implications of introducing artificial intelligence to decision-making processes and how users should prepare for increased scrutiny.
As technology and regulatory frameworks evolve, artificial intelligence (“AI”) legal issues have emerged as a key topic in transactional, litigation, and regulatory compliance contexts. Jones Day partners Laurent De Muyter, Carl Kukkonen, Stefan Schneider, and Emily Tait discuss the European Union’s implementation of a comprehensive framework for governing the flow of data, digital services, and AI, while the United States is still exploring regulation.
As discussions and debates unfold over digital currency regulations, Commodity Future Trading Commission chairman Rostin Benham told a U.S. Senate committee that “speculative fervor” surrounding cryptocurrencies has potentially left investors in need of protections, and made the case for his commission to be charged with overseeing activities in this burgeoning market.
Jones Day’s Josh Sterling and David Aron discuss the gradual move toward federal oversight of cryptocurrencies, the questions clients ask, and what crypto market participants need to know now.
A JONES DAY TALKS® Encore Presentation. From June 2021.
The surging interest in cryptocurrency continues to raise new legal challenges for market participants and interested parties. This is largely uncharted territory, so there’s comparatively little case law. However, a recent federal court’s decision in United American v. Bitmain provided some insight as to how courts would apply antitrust laws to cryptocurrency.
Jones Day partners Craig Waldman, Mark Rasmussen, and Chris Pace talk about the key takeaways from the court’s decision and discuss the other potential types of crypto asset antitrust claims we might see in the months and years ahead.
Jones Day partners Meredith Wilkes, Patricia Campbell, and Sarah Geers discuss the implementation of the Trademark Modernization Act, the recent decision in Thaler v Hirshfeld – a case involving protections for works created by artificial intelligence, opportunities for monetizing COVID 19-related patents, and other significant legal developments in the IP space during the last year.

Two recent patent applications seek protection for inventions that were created autonomously by artificial intelligence without a human inventor. The applicants want the AI to be deemed the inventor and the AI’s owners to receive the patent rights.
Emily Tait and Carl Kukkonen discuss how the United States Patent and Trademark Office is exploring the relationship between AI and patent law.
Legal and regulatory battles continue over net neutrality, the concept that all internet traffic should be treated equally.
In Mozilla v. Federal Communications Commission, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit upheld the Commission’s deregulatory approach to net neutrality but also struck down an order blocking states from implementing their own rules.
Jones Day partner Brett Shumate explains what the court’s decision could mean for net neutrality moving forward.
President Trump’s American AI Initiative is a far-reaching plan designed to ensure the United States remains a world leader in artificial intelligence research, development, and deployment. Jones Day’s Emily Tait, Samir Jain, and Chase Kaniecki discuss the focus areas defined by the Initiative, the government agencies involved, and the short-term and long-term implications of the President’s actions.
Our first in a series of Jones Day Talks podcasts on Blockchain features Jones Day’s Jim Cox, coeditor of the American Bar Association book Blockchain for Business Lawyers, answering common blockchain questions such as: What is blockchain?

In “How Regulations Could Help Cryptocurrencies Grow,” published in the Harvard Business Review, Jones Day partners Stephen Obie and Mark Rasmussen explain why effective government oversight is critical to bringing accountability and stability to this emerging asset class.
