Jonathan Goins Interviewed On AI Trends By The Daily Report

Atlanta, Ga. (August 8, 2023) – Atlanta Partner Jonathan D. Goins recently spoke with the Daily Report (part of Law.com) for an article titled, “Pay Attention: IP and Employment Lawyers Are Pointing Out These AI Trends.” The article discusses how artificial intelligence (AI) is creating challenges in intellectual property and employment law across a broad spectrum of industries, including entertainment.

Mr. Goins told the Daily Report that AI’s ability to generate content based on the likeness of talent “has created a divide between creatives, including screenwriters and actors, and prominent film studios.” Mr. Goins noted that AI is at the heart of the ongoing strike involving the Screen Actors Guild—American Federation of Television and Radio Artists and Writers Guild of America.

How clients face the complex nature of AI is even more complicated as the reality is, as Mr. Goins suggested, “there’s not a single federal law that regulates AI yet.” From the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to the National Labor Relations Board and state legislatures, the article also touched on how many regulators are beginning to examine the use of AI in the employment hiring process, including New York City’s Local Law 144.

Mr. Goins is a vice-chair of Lewis Brisbois' Intellectual Property & Technology and Entertainment, Media & Sports Practices. He serves as lead counsel in IP litigation across the country, including in “bet the company” cases with multimillion-dollar exposures. With two decades of experience, he is consistently ranked in leading publications for his deep and expansive knowledge of IP and entertainment law.
