Law.com: From Data Security to Decision Security: AI’s New Legal Risk

Editor’s Note: In a recent article published in Law.com, the authors, including HaystackID’s Michael Sarlo and Anya Korolyov, examine how AI is reshaping cyber incident response and shifting the legal focus from protecting data to defending AI-assisted decisions. As investigative workflows increasingly rely on AI to interpret massive, complex datasets, organizations must be prepared to justify not only what data were reviewed, but also how conclusions were reached. The article introduces the concept of “Decision Security,” emphasizing explainability, validation, and human oversight as core requirements. It outlines the structural pressures of scale, speed, and knowledge gaps that are driving AI adoption in investigations. At the same time, the authors caution that efficiency gains must be matched by methodological transparency and documented accountability. For legal, compliance, and cybersecurity leaders, this article offers a timely framework for ensuring AI-enabled decisions can withstand regulatory and judicial scrutiny.
