The pace of innovation is astounding—jarring, really. Sure, “Artificial Intelligence” has been a topic of public conversation for decades. Many of us remember when Deep Blue beat Garry Kasparov at chess in 1997, and when AlphaGo beat Lee Sedol at Go, and Watson beat champions Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter at Jeopardy in 2011. Those early generations of AI were domain-specific and, while ground-breaking, had no real applications outside of those specific mind sports. A lot has changed since then, and new advanced forms of AI, like ChatGPT and Google Bard, are seemingly everywhere, including in the workplace. Employers and employees in all fields are increasingly asking about these Generative AI tools, whether and how they can use them in their work, and whether using AI in the workplace raises any new legal concerns.
