In The AI Legal Handbook, Justin Wales offers a clear and practical guide to the law of artificial intelligence, covering everything from the origins of modern AI to generative models, autonomous systems, and the outer edges of emerging machine intelligence. Drawing on real-world experience, the book serves as an accessible introduction to the core technologies, legal frameworks, and policy developments shaping one of the most important fields of our time. The book explains the legal issues that matter most, including intellectual property, liability, privacy, bias, disclosure, regulation, and the growing tension between innovation and oversight. It also explores fast-moving developments in federal and state policymaking, the rise of large language models, and the broader legal and societal questions raised by AI's expanding role in business, government, and everyday life. Written for law students, attorneys, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and business leaders, this is an essential resource for understanding and navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence law.
