Earlier this month, Judge Rakoff of the Southern District of New York issued a first-of-its-kind ruling in United States v. Heppner. The case involved a criminal defendant, Heppner, who used a public generative AI platform (Claude) to “prepare reports that outlined his defense strategy (what he might argue with respect to the facts and the law that [his attorneys] anticipated that the government might be charging”).

OpenAI released GPT-4 in March 2023. By then, it was already the fastest-growing software application in the history of the human race. Artificial intelligence had already been deployed across many businesses, but the rapid proliferation of large language models into everyday life transformed AI regulation from a niche concern into the top priority of legislative sessions nationwide. There was a scramble to regulate and then understand (in that order) this new technology, resulting in over-drafted measures followed by industry pushback and a subsequent contraction due to the chilling effect that reactionary regulation can have on business investment.[1]
