Course Overview

Counsel Was Not in the Room When the Chatbot Shipped

AI chatbots now sit on client websites, service platforms, and internal workflows — and every deployment triggers privacy, wiretapping, consumer-protection, and product-liability exposure that the business decision never accounted for. The forces converged in 2026: California’s January CPRA/ADMT regulations took effect, the CIPA wiretapping suits multiplied against deployers, the FTC pressed Operation AI Comply with algorithmic disgorgement, COPPA’s revised rule landed on April 22, and SB 243 imposed affirmative duties on chatbots reaching minors. Any attorney advising a client that runs a customer-facing or internal bot is already exposed — and standard vendor templates and boilerplate disclosures collapse under these theories. This session delivers layered notice and consent frameworks, defensible data-minimization records, vendor clauses that address the eavesdropper theory and nested sub-processors, the Moffatt apparent-authority analysis, and a state disclosure map across California, Colorado, Maine, and Utah. You will leave able to audit and redline AI vendor contracts and counsel clients before plaintiffs and regulators find the gaps.

Key topics that will be covered

What will you learn

Attorneys will learn how CIPA, CPRA/ADMT, and state privacy laws, vendor wiretapping liability, chatbot-output liability, and high-risk use cases involving minors and mental health govern chatbot deployments.

What will you gain

Attendees will gain working frameworks for auditing vendor data practices, redlining chatbot vendor contracts, structuring disclosures, and counseling clients on substantiating AI capability claims and reducing liability.

Privacy patchwork
CIPA, CPRA/ADMT, and state privacy laws create compounding compliance obligations for chatbot deployments.
Notice architecture
Structuring layered disclosures that satisfy regulators across jurisdictions where consent frameworks fall short.
Wiretapping exposure
Courts apply CIPA and the eavesdropper theory to third-party chatbot vendor deployments.
Vendor contracts
Drafting and negotiating critical clauses in chatbot vendor agreements addressing nested sub-processors.
Company speech
Moffatt framework and apparent authority govern liability for company chatbot statements.
High-risk use
Wrongful death and product liability claims against operators whose chatbots reach minors.
