Maria Earley Named a 2022 “AI Visionary” by Relativity

Relativity, a provider of software that helps users organize data, discover the truth, and act on it, has named Washington, D.C.-based Financial Services Regulatory and Enforcement Partner Maria Earley to its list of “AI Visionaries.” From general counsel to data governance, privacy, compliance, and diversity professionals, the list includes leaders who have taken seminal steps in advancing the use of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in business areas that have historically been slower to adopt new technologies. The complete list of 2022 AI Visionaries is available at theaivisionaries.com.

“It’s exciting to see the rise of a dynamic group of AI visionaries who are blazing a trail for AI adoption, particularly in functions where managing risk is a top priority and the approach to technology adoption has been more conservative,” said Mike Gamson, chief executive officer at Relativity. “We are proud to recognize these unsung heroes for their foresight and leadership in advancing the use of AI and propelling their organizations forward.”

During her time at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), Maria worked toward ensuring that consumer protection laws were enforced equitably and that emerging technologies helped increase the accessibility of the financial system. Maria joined Morrison & Foerster in 2021 and helps guide corporations and fintech start-ups on complex and unique issues relating to how the CFPB and other financial regulators view and regulate cutting-edge innovations in the financial services sector.
