A San Francisco Law Firm Is Leading the Charge Against AI

… Experts say lawyers will be playing catch up as concerns mount about the technology taking others’ work without their permission. One San Francisco law firm is leading the charge when it comes to holding AI companies accountable.

In November, Joseph Saveri Law Firm filed a class-action lawsuit in U.S. Federal Court against a slew of defendants that includes two San Francisco companies, OpenAI and GitHub, along with GitHub’s owner Microsoft.

At the center of this debate was Harvard law professor Adrian Vermeule, whose latest book served as the ostensible subject of the symposium. In conservative legal circles, Vermeule has become the most prominent proponent of “common good constitutionalism,” a controversial new theory that challenges many of the fundamental premises and principles of the conservative legal movement. The cornerstone of Vermeule’s theory is the claim that “the central aim of the constitutional order is to promote good rule, not to ‘protect liberty’ as an end in itself” — or, in layman’s terms, that the Constitution empowers the government to pursue conservative political ends, even when those ends conflict with individual rights as most Americans understand them. In practice, Vermeule’s theory lends support to an idiosyncratic but far-reaching set of far-right objectives: outright bans on abortion and same-sex marriage, sweeping limits on freedom of expression and expanded authorities for the government to do everything from protecting the natural environment to prohibiting the sale of porn.
