On October 14, Wilson Sonsini partner Maneesha Mithal will speak at the Retail Industry Leaders Association's annual Retail Law Conference on the panel "Placing Ads in AI Chatbots." The session will explore emerging models for advertising within conversational AI—from sponsored responses and product placements to affiliate recommendations—and how these approaches differ from traditional digital advertising. Panelists will discuss notice obligations, transparency design, and evolving regulatory expectations from the FTC and its global counterparts.
