AI and Class Actions Unveiled: Liability, Defense, and Legal Innovation

Artificial Intelligence class actions are no longer a distant possibility – they are a present reality and are here to stay. Importantly, AI tools are being used across a variety class actions – meaning, regardless of the type of class action, AI tools are being leveraged by the plaintiffs’ bar at every stage of class action litigation, making every class action an “AI class action.” Insurers, automakers, and retailers have already found themselves in the crosshairs, facing claims primarily linked to the privacy implications of AI. As the legal landscape continues to evolve, new industries will inevitably become targets, and fresh theories of liability will emerge.
