Generative AI is increasingly attractive to advertisers, but it comes with significant legal uncertainties, especially regarding copyright and intellectual property ownership. In the article, "AI Legal Risks—What Brands and Agencies Need to Know," Ad Age's Lindsay Rittenhouse asked legal and other sources, including Gunderson Dettmer partner Katie Gardner, on how to experiment with generative AI in advertising while minimizing legal risks. The article states, "Since the technology is evolving so quickly, Gardner suggested agencies and marketers appoint one person [or a group] whose full-time job is to understand how the rest of the company can implement and experiment with generative AI. 'They really need a person or group for keeping up with what’s happening and making sure that they’re staying on top of any changes.' Gardner said."
