In the following guest post, Evan Bundschuh and Burkhard Fassbach share and analyze their research into the AI-related Form 10-K disclosures of 26 U.S.-listed public companies, in order to assess the level and significance of public companies’ disclosure statements pertaining to artificial intelligence. Evan is Vice President at GB&A, a retail insurance brokerage in New York, and Burkhard is a D&O lawyer in private practice in Germany. My thanks to Evan and Burkhard for allowing us to publish their article on this site. Here is their article.

In recent months, securities class action litigation patterns involving AI-related disclosures have emerged and developed, as has been documented on this site (most recently, for example, here). There has of course been a great deal of other kinds of AI-related litigation, including lawsuits involving intellectual property issues, privacy and data-collection concerns, discrimination and bias claims, and a variety of different kinds of tort allegations.

In a shareholder derivative lawsuit recently filed against the board of software firm Adobe, these two lines of AI-related litigation crossed; the plaintiff shareholder alleges that the defendants violated their board duties by knowingly permitting the company to train its artificial intelligence tools using material copyrighted by others and in a way that subjected the company to IP-related litigation. As discussed below, the new lawsuit illustrates how the broader range of AI-related litigation can translate into follow-on D&O claims, representing yet another area of AI-related D&O risk.

One of the interesting features of the rise of AI has been the advent of “AI-and” businesses – that is, businesses whose strategy is to apply AI tools to traditional business models. When “AI-and” business results fall short, securities litigation has sometimes followed. In the latest example of this kind of litigation, earlier this week a plaintiff shareholder filed a securities suit against Upstart Holdings, a company whose business model involves applying AI tools to traditional credit rating and lending services, after the results from the company’s AI-updated credit rating tool disappointed investors. A copy of the new Upstart Holdings complaint can be found here.

The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based tools and applications has also meant the rise in AI-related infrastructure, such as data centers and power generation support. And just as we have seen the rise of securities litigation relating to companies’ adoption of AI tools and processes, we have also seen securities suits relating to AI infrastructure development.

In the latest example of this kind of AI infrastructure-related litigation, on March 20, 2026, a plaintiff shareholder filed a securities class action lawsuit against the engine and power systems company Power Solutions International, alleging that the company’s new strategy of providing power generation solutions for AI data centers had fallen short of the company’s representations. A copy of the new complaint against Power Solutions can be found here.

Among the challenges companies face as they incorporate AI into their business strategies is accurately projecting the impact the AI-based approach will have on their business and financial results. Business outcomes may fall short of expectations to the disappointment of investors, which in turn can lead to securities litigation. In the latest example of this phenomenon, investors sued the Israeli-based software company Monday.com after it adjusted its earnings guidance as its AI-based strategy unfolded differently than the company had projected. A copy of the March 10, 2026, complaint against the company can be found here.

In recent months, the SEC’s position with respect to AI regulation and enforcement has emerged, with important implications for reporting companies. In the following guest post, Mayme Donohue, a partner in the Hunton Andrews Kurth law firm takes a detailed look at the SEC’s emerging approach and provides specific pointers for reporting companies’ AI-related disclosures. I would like to thank Mayme for allowing me to publish her article as a guest post on this site. Here is Mayme’s article.

In my recent year-end roundup of the top D&O stories of 2025, one key topic I noted was the significance of AI-related corporate and securities litigation during the year. 2026 has only just started, but it already seems likely that AI-related litigation will be an important theme again in the new year, as well. In the latest example of this phenomenon, earlier this week a plaintiff shareholder filed a securities class action lawsuit against AI infrastructure company CoreWeave. As discussed below, there are a number of interesting features to this latest lawsuit. A copy of the January 12, 2026, CoreWeave complaint can be found here.

There’s lots to worry about as we enter the New Year, not least a newly emboldened and militarily active U.S. There are also things to worry about in the financial markets, even as the various indices trade at or near record levels. Much of the recent run-up in market valuations is due to investor enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (AI). Some commentators worry that the current investor AI enthusiasm may prove to be a bubble – that is, that valuations have gotten out of whack and that infrastructure investment have run far ahead of any possible (or profitable) need. Some (including me) are concerned that things could get messy if investors sour on AI or lose confidence or patience.

One of the possible consequences from an AI bubble burst could be a wave of corporate and securities litigation. A lawsuit filed earlier this week against the start-up AI energy support company Fermi, which just completed an IPO in October, may suggest what post AI-bubble litigation might look like. A copy of the complaint can be found here.

As detailed in a recent guest post on this site, authorities in a variety of jurisdictions around the country and around the world are grappling with the right approach to regulate AI. Several U.S. state legislatures, including those in California, Colorado, Utah and Texas, among others, have already enacted AI-specific laws. Now, on December 11, 2025, the White House issued a new Executive Order entitled “Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence” (here). The new EO seeks to override or preempt state laws on AI in favor of unified federal regulation. As discussed below, the order raises a number of concerns and may face both resistance and court challenge.

One of the most important developments in the business, economic and financial arenas has been the recent emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The advent of the AI era has also presented novel legal issues and has presented regulators with a host of potential challenges. In the following guest post, Alexander Hopkins takes a look at the developing efforts of a variety of governmental regulators to address the issues that AI presents, and considers the implications of these regulatory developments for the liabilities of corporate directors and officers. Alex is Of Counsel at the Saxe Doernberger & Vita, P.C. law firm. I would like to thank Alex for allowing me to publish his article as a guest post on this site.
