In 2025, the legal community witnessed a surge in discussions surrounding the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into various facets of law. Law360’s guest articles provided in-depth analyses on this evolving landscape, addressing topics from regulatory developments to ethical considerations.
One notable piece examined the absence of a comprehensive federal law governing AI use in the United States. The article highlighted that, while an executive order had previously funded research into AI regulation, it was rescinded in early 2025, leaving a regulatory void. This situation has led to a patchwork of state-level initiatives attempting to fill the gap, underscoring the need for cohesive federal oversight.
