The Future of Insurance is Here

Professor Daniel Schwarcz forges new frontiers with his innovative research into the impact of Artificial Intelligence and the law. He and three other professors recently published results from a wide-ranging study that showed that during data breach investigations, lawyers doing their jobs—protecting client confidentiality, limiting litigation risk—can actually undermine cybersecurity.
