Jenner & Block proved to our ACC SoCal members that an AI generated video of puppies playing in snow is pretty darn cute ??. They also showed us that an AI generated bot singing about the AI blues can be catchy ??. But most importantly, they impressed on us that AI generated content in the media and creator space is rapidly evolving and the law is slowly trying to catch up. Thank you Lauren Greene and Julie Shepard on your AI presentation on such timely and sometimes scary topics affecting the entertainment and music industry. The event was sold out and our members stuck around for questions (or maybe it was the tiramisu and chocolate covered strawberries). Either way, it was a fabulous event!

Thank you to Merchant & Gould P.C. for getting our members into the holiday spirit by hosting a festive mixer. We hugged old friends, toasted new ones, and enjoyed the stunning beauty of a SoCal sunset. And, yes, we may have talked about the law ... just a little bit.

UPCOMING VIRTUAL CLE! Join us this Thursday for an engaging and informative session on "The Ever Changing Landscape of California Invasion of Privacy Act Litigation" presented by Cozen O'Connor. Pre-advent of the smartphone and modern Internet, California enacted as part of its Penal Code the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA). The statute was intended to address bad actors intercepting confidential communications and other information through telephones. To that end, the State’s Legislature provided a private right of action. Today, often under the moniker of “testers,” plaintiffs file lawsuits and initiate arbitrations claiming that embedded code on websites violates CIPA based on a number of theories. As case law develops and disposes of various CIPA-violation theories, plaintiffs change tactics and invent new theories. It is an ever-repeating cycle. Join Brett Taylor, Alexander Robinson and Robert W. Rubenstein as they provide background about what CIPA was intended to prevent and the commonly asserted CIPA claims. They will also identify the common defenses and issues to consider when a website provider attempts to comply with California law.
