Rose Law Group Chairman of AI, IP and Tech Law, Paul Coble presents AI Update of the Week: Thompson Reuters v Ross

In this video, Paul Coble, chairman of Rose Law Group’s AI, intellectual property, and technology law departments who serves as outside CAIO for companies, provides a legal breakdown of the case.
