My Most Important Recent Pods for Your July 4th BBQ
Welcome to your July 4th holiday week “brAIn” dump! Last week was exhausting with back-to-back critical “fair use” decisions in Kadrey v. Meta and Bartz v. Anthropic. Now you’re ready to chill. So this special edition features my most critical recent podcast episodes that help you make sense of it all. Of course, we’ve updated the “AI Litigation Tracker” — thanks to Partner Avery Williams of McKool Smith (check out the full “Tracker” here). Avery lays out detailed “must read” analyses of both Kadrey v. Meta and Bartz v. Anthropic.
