Identifying AI Legal Risk: Areas of Focus in Developing and Using AI Tools

Albany Law School’s Online Programming presents: August 5, 2025 | Identifying AI Legal Risk: Areas of Focus in Developing and Using AI Tools Presented by: Antony Haynes, Director of Cybersecurity and Privacy Law; Professor of Law at Albany Law School and, Amy Waller Apostol, Assistant General Counsel for Cyber and Emerging Technologies at Leídos. As AI becomes deeply embedded across business operations, the risk landscape is growing increasingly complex. This CLE offers attorneys and other professionals a practical framework for understanding the expanding legal exposures corporations face when deploying artificial intelligence technologies, including liability in intellectual property; tort liability and product safety risks associated with autonomous systems, algorithmic decision-making, and predictive tools; employment and labor issues with a focus on disparate impact litigation and emerging state laws; privacy and surveillance issues; and how to assess the risks of black-box algorithms, understand vendor liability, and advise clients on implementing legal guardrails in AI system development. By the end of the webinar, participants will be equipped to identify key areas of risk, ask the right compliance questions, and guide clients in creating responsible AI governance strategies that align with legal, ethical, and reputational considerations.
