Washington, DC (September 16, 2025) – Venable LLP announced the launch today of its new podcast series, AI & IP: The Legal Frontier, a six-episode program tackling the fast-evolving intersection of artificial intelligence and intellectual property law.
Hosted by Justin Pierce, a co-chair of Venable’s IP Division and a member of the firm’s AI team, the podcast brings together leading voices from across the firm to examine how artificial intelligence is reshaping copyright, content and data licensing, patents, trade secrets, and the broader innovation landscape—offering listeners practical guidance on navigating the legal risks and opportunities ahead.
“The rise of AI is not only transforming industries—it’s rewriting the rulebook for intellectual property. This series is about helping businesses anticipate risks, protect their innovations, and stay ahead of change,” said Pierce.
The debut episode, “The Disruptive Impact of AI and Why IP Is More Important Than Ever,” features Ha Kung Wong and sets the stage for a series of timely conversations with Venable attorneys and industry thought leaders.
