AI: risk and global regulation

AI is an increasingly ubiquitous technology across all areas of society and the economy. However, its use also presents significant legal and regulatory risks, under both existing and emerging legislation. In this webinar, leading AI barrister Jacob Turner presents a guide to the technology, the problems it could cause, and how these can be managed by organisations and their advisors. The recent enactment of the EU AI Act makes these issues all the more important for businesses and other organisations.

The webinar will cover:

• An introduction to AI technology and what makes it unique
• Major sources of risk for business: opacity, unpredictability, bias
• Case studies of AI harms
• Key existing legislation, including the GDPR
• Possible future UK legislation under the Labour government
• Emerging international legislation, including the EU AI Act and China’s AI laws
• Practical steps organisations can take to build AI governance
