Do your company's Q4 and 2027 marketing campaigns utilize generative AI? Remember that federal copyright protection strictly requires documented human authorship. Purely AI-generated code, designs, and content cannot be copyrighted, leaving your intellectual property vulnerable to competitors. In New York, your ads must also comply with the new “synthetic performers” rule requiring conspicuous disclosure of AI-generated people. Our Intellectual Property Practice Group can help your company maintain compliance.

In July, Governor Kathy Hochul signed an executive order imposing a one-year moratorium on the construction of new, hyperscale data centers in New York. The state will use the pause to develop standards on energy demands and environmental impacts such as water usage. Data centers have far-reaching implications for local economies and bring up significant land use and zoning questions, so data center developers and municipalities should closely monitor this matter.
