Data That Never Leaves the Firm: Compliance Considerations Behind the Second-Largest U.S. Law Firm's Self-Built AI Infrastructure
Latham & Watkins, the second-largest U.S. law firm by revenue, was recently reported to have taken a move rarely seen in the legal industry: it has directly purchased Nvidia GPU servers and begun building and fine-tuning its own internal artificial intelligence system. The news was first disclosed by the UK's Financial Times, subsequently confirmed by Bloomberg Law, Law360, and other media outlets, and Latham itself confirmed the fact to the press. Unlike most coverage that focuses on the technological spectacle of "law firms buying chips too," this article aims to discuss another thread driving this decision—data security compliance.

California SB 574: America's First Law Regulating Lawyers' Use of AI
**A Legislation Sparked by "Hallucinations"** Over the past two years, generative AI has rapidly entered the daily work of law firms: drafting documents, searching for cases, and organizing evidence summaries. But behind the convenience, a recurring problem has begun to plague the entire legal industry—AI "fabricating" case law. Lawyers have found that even well-trained, high-performing large models will, in the course of writing, "spout nonsense with a straight face," fabricating cases, citations, and legal bases that appear real but do not exist at all. This phenomenon is called "AI hallucination." According to statistics from legal research institutions, as of early 2026, more than 600 court cases across the United States have involved lawyers submitting documents containing AI-hallucinated citations, and this trend is still accelerating—from a few sporadic cases per month to new cases appearing almost every day.

When Robots Begin to 'See' Your Home: Data Security Compliance for Embodied Intelligence
Imagine a home service robot: it remembers your home's layout, recognizes your face and voice, knows when you wake up, and where you habitually place your keys. This is not science fiction, but the reality of embodied intelligence coming to life—in 2025, China's embodied intelligence market has approached one trillion yuan, with continued growth expected in 2026. But this robot is also doing something traditional AI applications rarely do: turning the entire physical world into its training data. Cameras, microphones, force sensors, and LiDAR operate around the clock, collecting images, audio, spatial maps, human trajectories... This is entirely different from an app pop-up asking you to click 'agree' a few times.

Invisible Cross-Border Data: Employees' Daily AI Operations Are Quietly Triggering Compliance Obligations
Over the past two years, generative AI tools have rapidly evolved from a "novelty" into everyday office tools. From writing emails, creating PPTs, coding, to organizing meeting minutes—employees may interact with AI in almost every aspect of their work. However, many companies still operate in a phase where AI usage is "employee-initiated, department-tolerated, and company-unaware." For multinational enterprises, especially those with operations or employees in both China and the U.S., this laissez-faire approach is amplifying risk exposure. The EU AI Act's General-Purpose AI (GPAI) rules have entered the enforcement phase; U.S. AI regulation presents a fragmented landscape of "federal restraint, state proliferation"; and cross-border data flows between China and the U.S. are further compounded by each country's data security and export control rules, making this one of the most overlooked and perilous areas for many companies.
