Brian Wangโs article covers five AI legal issues: IP ownership, data privacy, algorithmic bias, liability for errors, and workforce displacement.
Wang covers real problems. Here are some additional issues with AI & Law.

Your lending AI uses credit scores from another companyโs AI. That AI pulled data processed by a third AI. Someone gets denied unfairly.
Whoโs responsible?
Legal systems assume clean causation lines. AI creates webs. Courts will demand answers that donโt exist.

Opposing counsel demands to see how your AI decided. But the modelโs training data is proprietary. The weights are unexplainable even to creators.
Courts will order disclosure anyway. Companies will claim trade secrets. Standoff.

If your AI agent negotiates and executes contracts, when are you bound? What if it agrees to terms youโd never accept?
โI didnโt authorize that.โ meets โyour AI had apparent authority.โ
Courts wonโt have an answer.

Insurance policies werenโt written for AI risk. Exclusions donโt contemplate algorithmic failures. Insurers will exit or charge premiums that lock out small players.
That means big tech.
Only the largest companies can afford AI compliance infrastructure. Theyโll help write the regulations. Small competitors get locked out. Innovation slows.
The existing players love it.
Employment law becomes a minefield, then disappears. Short term: litigation explosion. Medium term: courts require human review of AI decisions. Long term: companies make the human reviewer a $15/hour rubber stamp.
Criminal law has no answer for AI fraud. Prosecutors need someone to charge. Theyโll pick whoeverโs convenient. Low-level employees become scapegoats.
Weโre not adapting law to AI. Weโre discovering that modern law assumed humans were in the loop.
Remove that assumption and the whole system wobbles.
Courts will create answers. Theyโll be messy, inconsistent, and expensive. The companies with the deepest legal teams win. No surprise there...
Everyone else picks through the wreckage.โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
