Summary of article from IAPP, by Uzma Chaudhry:
The modern internet, integrating AI, IoT, and advanced cybersecurity, is a rapidly evolving ecosystem with significant societal impact, accessible to 5.35 billion people globally. This digital landscape has increased the influence of intermediaries like search engines and social media, raising concerns about privacy, misinformation, and intermediary liability under laws such as Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, Section 512 of the : Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and the EU e-Commerce Directive. The rise of generative AI adds complexity, challenging existing legal frameworks and prompting discussions on whether current immunities should extend to AI-generated content. Recent cases like Gonzalez v. Google highlight ambiguities in intermediary liability, particularly as AI technologies evolve. Future legal interpretations will need to address the nuances of AI and its role in content creation and dissemination.
