AI In The Context of ERP Software Presents Unique Risks
Harris and Balthazor Featured in Cleveland Jewish News Article
Taft attorneys Marcus Harris and Joey Balthazor were profiled by the Cleveland Jewish News in the article “Legalities of artificial intelligence just starting to scratch the surface,” published on Aug. 11. In the article, the Taft attorneys discuss some of the issues that organizations encounter using Artificial Intelligence (AI), including the intersection of copyright law
Colorado Passes Artificial Intelligence (AI) Regulatory Bill
Colorado became the first state in the country to pass a regulatory framework for artificial intelligence (AI). On May 17, 2024, Governor Jared Polis signed Senate Bill 24-205 (Concerning consumer protections in interactions with artificial intelligence systems) into law. This landmark law is set to take effect on Feb. 1, 2026. Read five key takeaways
EU Artificial Intelligence Act
The EU’s pioneering AI Act, set to take effect in two years, aims to establish Europe as a global leader for trustworthy AI. It provides for enforcement of unified rules, emphasizing safety and fundamental rights. And it applies to providers and users globally, so long as the AI output is intended for EU use.

EU Passes Artificial Intelligence Legislation
On June 14, 2023, European Union (EU) parliament members passed the Artificial Intelligence Act (the “EU AI Act”) which, if enacted, would be one of the first laws passed by a major regulatory body to regulate artificial intelligence. It would also potentially serve as a model for policymakers here in the United States as Congress
Artificial Intelligence in Construction: Part IV
In our prior articles on artificial intelligence (AI) in construction, we discussed machine learning, image recognition, sensors-on-site, building information modeling, and smart contracts. As we noted, significant legal issues will arise with the increasing implementation of these technologies. These issues can be grouped generally into: (1) risk allocation; (2) ownership and protection
Artificial Intelligence in Construction: Part III
As we noted in our first article on artificial intelligence in construction, artificial intelligence (AI) is a broad term that generally refers to technology that uses algorithms to process data and simulate human intelligence. In our first two articles, we discussed machine learning and then image recognition and sensors-on-site. In this article, we discuss
Artificial Intelligence in Construction Part II: Image Recognition and Sensors-on-Site
In this article, we continue our series on artificial intelligence (AI) in construction. Here we address image recognition and sensors-on-site. This technology uses cameras and other sensors to assess vast quantities of video, pictures, and other recorded conditions from worksites. Such technology has the potential to: (1) monitor worksite conditions for safety risks and hazards;
