Superpowers — and Potential Perils: Deploying AI for Business
March 2026
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is taking the world by storm, promising to enhance efficiency and revolutionize business. Corporations are embracing the technology, with AI market size expected to reach 1 trillion by 2030. But companies that deploy AI for their operations are confronting risks involving litigation, privacy, and ethics. And regulators are struggling to keep pace with its rapid deployment, leading some to fear AI is out of control — that it could spawn a surveillance state and render portions of the workforce obsolete.
How can businesses best employ AI efficiently? What are its superpowers — and potential perils? And what’s in store for the future of AI technology?
Join The Sidley Podcast host and Sidley partner, Sam Gandhi, as he speaks with one of the firm’s thought leaders on these issues — Dave Gordon, a member of the firm’s Executive Committee, the co-leader of the firm’s Commercial Litigation and Disputes practice, the head of the Litigation group in the firm’s Chicago office, and the co-chair of the firm’s Artificial Intelligence Council. Together, they discuss who is using AI and why, the risks and best practices to deployment, and what to expect in the ever-changing legal and regulatory landscape.
