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.Continue Reading AI Infrastructure Company Hit with AI-Related Securities Suit

As readers of this blog know, in recent months there have been a number of AI-related corporate and securities suits filed against companies and their executives (as discussed, for example, here). In general, these suits have mostly involved “AI-washing” allegations – that is, allegations that the defendant company misrepresented its AI-related prospects or capabilities.

Last week, in the latest example of this type of suit, a plaintiff shareholder filed a derivative suit against executives of the digital ad tracking firm DoubleVerify, alleging that the defendants had caused the company to omit to disclose that AI-related developments were undercutting the company’s revenues. A copy of the derivative suit complaint can be found here.Continue Reading Digital Ad Analytic Firm Hit With AI-Related Disclosure Suit

Among other things, I have long believed that advocacy groups will attempt to use disclosure-related issues as a way to try to draw attention to climate change policies.

The legal group contends that the insurers’ annual reports failed to meet the requirements of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules due to the absence in the reports of any climate change-related disclosures.
