AI’s Legal Storm: The Three Battles That Will Shape Its Future

Behind the scenes at the World Economic Forum, two major themes dominate the conversation—Trump & AI—against the snowy backdrop of Davos. 

But beyond the headlines, a growing wave of AI-related lawsuits is unfolding, highlighting the legal and ethical challenges shaping the future of AI.

Three key legal battles are emerging:

• Intellectual Property (IP): Who owns the content AI is trained on?

• Privacy & Data Protection: Who controls personal and sensitive data in AI?

• Ethical & Liability: Who is responsible when AI causes harm?

As these legal fights escalate, one trend is becoming clear—Decentralized AI (DeAI) could be the solution.
