‘Traditionally, legal actions have been time consuming, expensive, and distracting. Generative AI makes it easier — and cheaper — for customers, employees, competitors, and regulators to take legal action, at the same time that a turbulent geopolitical environment increases legal exposure. Future legal risks will be legal fishing expeditions akin to internet “phishing” attacks: less personal, mass-produced actions initiated by many actors. When coordinated, they’ll be much more like distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, which involves overwhelming a target with a flood of traffic to knock it offline. To prepare for this new reality companies need to take a page out of cybersecurity readiness. Specifically, they’ll need to quickly take action to better understand their vulnerabilities, emerging threats and their potential impact, the risk-mitigation actions they want to take, and their communication strategies to internal and external stakeholders.’
