Predictions on AI and Procurement
Several people have asked me for my thoughts on how AI will affect procurement. Really. First, I will share what companies are doing right now to implement AI in procurement: • Building centralized AI “governance hubs” to enforce standardized contracting playbooks. • Running tabletop exercises for AI failure scenarios linked back to contractual remedies. • […]
Case Update: Use of AI in HR Software
Your recruiting software is likely using AI even when it’s not marketed that way (“smart matching,” “automated screening,” “predictive analytics” ==> hidden AI).

Thinking About Trade Secrets, AI, Workplace Safety, and ICE Raids
I strongly suggest businesspeople think about the interplay between “general legal issues” and “general use technologies“. I also strongly suggest asking me for a picture of myself with Paulie Walnuts when I met him at this boxing match–this is one of my favorite celebrity pics from my work trips to Las Vegas.

Web Scraping vs. Terms of Use
Data scraping extracts and copies data from websites. Often this is done to train AI large language models. Because scraped data commonly includes user-generated content and personal information, many companies explicitly prohibit data scraping through their terms of use. This includes X (formerly Twitter) which tried to enforce its anti-scraping terms of use. X’s argument […]
Fiduciary Duties and AI
Pivoting to AI will have serious implications for fiduciary responsibilities. Companies, family offices, and all advisors must strike an appropriate balance between human expertise and technological advancement. It is imperative that AI users encourage critical evaluations of AI-generated results with independent human thinking. The failure to do so can be catastrophic for everyone involved. Tools […]
