Technology is developing at rapid pace and no more so than in the food product industry. Artificial intelligence (AI) as utilised within the food industry was valued at around US$3 billion in 2020 and is predicted to grow to around 10 times that figure by 2026.

The Fifth Circuit’s treatment of the meaning of “publication” was remarkable (a word we do not choose lightly). As a result, this case may have a significant impact on Coverage B, but not for the reasons many might suspect.
