Above the Law post says AI is reshaping day-to-day IP practice

Generative AI is moving from theoretical concern to practical problem for intellectual property practitioners. As AI tools proliferate in legal workflows, lawyers face immediate questions about authorship, ownership, and risk allocation that existing copyright law—which traditionally requires human authorship—does not yet clearly answer.
