Description
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is revolutionising the IT ecosystem in unprecedented ways. With AI developers themselves struggling to fully understand the intricacies of their own model, AI’s inherent risks of unpredictability and bias pose challenges for lawyers and regulators alike. Regulators around the globe have responded with AI regulation but are also introducing new regulations that apply to technology contracting more broadly and which impact providers and users of technology in general. In this evolving landscape, companies need to re-evaluate their contracts. Are they still offering the right level of protection? Do the clauses function as intended? Do they address these new developments? The short answer is: likely not.
In this interactive session, leading industry experts and specialised lawyers will discuss the impact of AI and other regulations on contracts. Through real-world examples and contract clauses, they will guide you on how to update your contracts to meet the challenges ahead.
