1:00 pm - 2:00 pm ESTThis session equips business counsel with a practical framework for responding when a state attorney general issues a civil investigative demand or demand letter targeting a small company’s AI tools. Attorneys will learn how AGs are applying existing consumer protection, privacy, and anti-discrimination statutes to AI deployments, what the anatomy of a CID looks like and how to challenge or narrow it, and how to execute a defensible first-30-days response without triggering escalation. At the end of this session, attendees will be able to triage an AG inquiry, assess multistate exposure, protect privilege, and make the critical early tactical decisions that determine whether an investigation resolves cooperatively or escalates to litigation.
Paul SingerBeth Bolen ChunAbigail StempsonAndrea deLorimier 2:10 pm - 3:10 pm ESTThis session guides business counsel through the negotiation, drafting, and post-resolution compliance obligations of state AG assurances of voluntary compliance (AVCs) and assurances of discontinuance (AODs) in AI-related enforcement matters. Using landmark resolutions — Texas v. Pieces Technologies (2024) and Massachusetts v. Earnest Operations (2025) as teaching templates, the session examines what drives monetary exposure versus no-penalty outcomes, how to negotiate AVC terms, and what ongoing compliance obligations a resolved AI inquiry typically imposes. Attorneys leave with a practical framework for evaluating settlement posture, negotiating specific AVC provisions, managing multistate escalation risk, and structuring post-resolution compliance programs.
