Artificial Intelligence—AI—is an ever more pervasive part of our lives. AI is embedded in shopping algorithms, navigational aids, and search engines, and, as we now know, it is used for public health contact tracing. Studies show that certain AI applications identify tumors with greater accuracy than medical personnel. Algorithms drive social media—and, increasingly, cars. It seems Generation Z has come of age knowing nothing but algorithms.2 Just as AI is transforming the economy, health care, and American society, it will also transform the practice of government and law. Law firms use AI platforms to conduct discovery. At least seventy-five countries use facial recognition for domestic security and law enforcement purposes.3 AI is used to determine travel patterns, to link suspects with crime scenes, and to populate watch lists. Between 2011 and 2019, the FBI used its facial recognition algorithm to search federal and state databases, including some state driver’s license databases, over 390,000 times.4 The National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence has predicted that “[t]he development of AI will shape the future of power.”
