AI-related news dominates the business pages these days. Many companies increasingly are adapting their business processes to incorporate AI-related operations, and an growing number of companies are adjusting their business strategies to accommodate AI. While these changes present a host of opportunities, they also involve risks. A securities lawsuit recently filed against the integrated circuit (IC) design software company Synopsys shows how these kinds of AI-related risks can translate into securities litigation. In the complaint, the company is alleged to have understated the additional customization requirements that its customers’ AI-adapted operations would entail. A copy of the October 31, 2025, complaint can be found here.

President Trump has made it clear that advancing efforts in the U.S. to develop artificial intelligence (AI) is a priority of his administration.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and processes are becoming increasingly pervasive in many industry sectors and in many phases of business. AI use is also spreading to corporate processes and functions. For example, as I recently noted, some companies many be using AI tools to draft the MD&A in their periodic reports. And, at least according to a recent post in the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance by lawyers from the Debevoise law firm, some corporate boards may be “adopting AI meeting tools to assist with the drafting of board and committee minutes.” As the memo’s authors note, board adoption of AI tools for these purposes may offer some benefits, but the use of the tools also entails risk, which board members will want to take into account in using the tools.

The June 23, 2025, law firm memo, entitled “AI Can Draft Board Minutes – But Should It? Considerations for Public Companies,” can be found here.

In the following guest post, Sarah Abrams, Head of Claims Baleen Specialty, a division of Bowhead Specialty, takes a look at the larger context of AI regulation.

As I have noted in recent posts (most recently, for example, here), the proliferation of AI in many industries is changing the way business gets done. According to a new study, AI could also be changing the language companies use to report to regulators and to communicate with their investors, in ways that potentially could increase the companies’ securities class action litigation exposure.
