Lawyer-Client Conflict Of Interest When AI Is The Attorney On Both Sides
As a sacrosanct part of the lawyer-client relationship, conflicts of interest by an attorney are to be made apparent and normally eliminated or mitigated in one fashion or another. This raises an interesting question about the future as to the advent of AI in the law and the possibility of AI-based attorneys that could equally embody conflicts of interest toward their clients.

AI Anticipated Impacts On The Sixth Amendment Effective Counsel Provision
The U.S. Constitution mandates the assistance of legal counsel for criminal defendants. Meanwhile, relevant Supreme Court decisions have clarified that such legal counsel must be effective and that when legal counsel is ineffective there are opportunities to overturn case results. Consider how the question of effectiveness might be altered in an era of AI-based legal reasoning systems.

Person identification, human rights and ethical principles: Rethinking biometrics in the era of artificial intelligence
As the use of biometrics becomes commonplace in the era of artificial intelligence (AI), this study aims to identify the impact on fundamental rights of current and upcoming developments, and to put forward relevant policy options at European Union (EU) level. Taking as a starting point the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down harmonised rules on AI, presented by the European Commission in April 2021, the study reviews key controversies surrounding what the proposal addresses through the notions of 'remote biometric identification' (which most notably includes live facial recognition), 'biometric categorisation' and so-called 'emotion recognition'. Identifying gaps in the proposed approaches to all these issues, the study puts them in the context of broader regulatory discussions. More generally, the study stresses that the scope of the current legal approach to biometric data in EU law, centred on the use of such data for identification purposes, leaves out numerous current and expected developments that are not centred on the identification of individuals, but nevertheless have a serious impact on their fundamental rights and democracy.

Letter from Africa: Why Kenya's taxman is eyeing social media
… But in Kenya there is now another hidden follower, tracking every step you make, every photo you post, every meal you eat, every car you flaunt, every house you show off.
This loyal follower is the taxman.
… "This may in some instances involve viewing the social media profiles of targeted individuals," a KRA spokesperson admits to me.
"Isn't this an infringement on people's privacy?" I ask.
"No," says the authority: "The KRA does not infringe on anyone's right of privacy as what they post is for public viewing and in public social media."
