About
Whether it was papyrus scrolls, hand-written books, the Gutenberg press or Gutenberg.org, what we now call information technology has always affected the development, publication, application and imposition of law and legal process.
Current and developing technologies make law and legal process less expensive and more accessible than ever before. Wilftek implements that vision by providing prompt, affordable legal services across the street or around the world.

Fred Wilf's presentation at TECH360: "AI x Law: Current and Projected Issues, Problems and Surprises that Affect Your Development and Use of AI Technologies"
Developing and using AI technologies can cause all sorts of legal problems. If you use AI to generate computer programs or other code, why are the outputs considered public domain by the Copyright Office and the Patent and Trademark Office? And if those assets are public domain, how do you protect what should be yours? How do investors protect their investments in AI technology and its outputs? How do AI developers reduce the risk of lawsuits from large media companies? How do companies responsibly use AI, and do they need yet another policy document?
