Eric Goldman, a law professor at Santa Clara University School of Law, has commented on the intricacies of applying First Amendment principles to new technologies. “The law gets strange at the legal frontiers” created by emerging tech, Goldman noted, highlighting the challenges judges face in such cases. The particular judge in question found the case “hard and complicated,” which essentially led to a legal impasse. Goldman predicts that other ongoing cases will likely result in “a tsunami of court decisions” regarding the liability of generative AI models for their outputs.
