Artificial Intelligence: What Lawyers Should Know

Generative AI has suddenly become a must-have technology for almost every company. One reason is that generative AI (GenAI) has impressive capabilities useful for various applications such as natural language chatbots, text-to-image generators and text-to-video generators capable of producing incredibly realistic outputs based on text inputs.

This notion that DAOs are deterministic is an underlying assumption made by investors and legislatures when selecting or devising corporate forms for DAOs.
