From Travers Smith

In this episode, Partner James Longster and Senior Associate Andy Maxwell from our Technology & Commercial Transactions team discuss the ways in which AI can give rise to liability, the difficulties that arise in relation to attributing responsibility for losses linked to AI, and the measures that are being taken to regulate this area.

In this episode, Partner, James Longster, from our Technology & Commercial Transactions team and Senior Associate, Naomi Pollock, from our Employment team discuss the transformative role that AI can play in the workplace in areas such as recruitment, management and performance review.  They highlight legal pitfalls employers must avoid - risks such as discrimination, breach of data protection laws and the leak of proprietary information.  The pair then go on to explore a number of risk management strategies, including being transparent about the use of AI, retaining human oversight, having an AI use policy and adequate staff training.

In this episode, Partner James

Longster and Senior Associate Rosie Westley from our

Technology & Commercial Transactions team discuss how AI interacts with

Intellectual Property laws in the UK. They note two main concerns for

businesses: the extent of IP protection for AI systems and their outputs, and

the risk of existing IP rights holders challenging usage of training data and

outputs. Through these main two concerns, our speakers discuss copyright

ownership in AI-generated outputs; difficulties in establishing creative

originality; patentability of such outputs; and IP infringement risks in using

AI systems.

James Longster, a partner in our Technology and Commercial Transactions team, gives a 3 minute primer on six key issues to consider when looking to deploy artificial intelligence as part of an outsourcing transaction.  This is the third in a series of short videos on different aspects of outsourcing.

In this second episode, Partner James Longster and Senior Associate Sarah Robinson discuss the extent to which the

UK and EU data protection regimes apply to artificial intelligence (AI). The

unique challenges posed by AI's substantial and varied use of personal data.

In this first episode, Partners James Longster and Louisa Chambers from our Technology & Commercial Transactions team discuss the current legal landscape in the UK and the EU for the regulation of AI technology and how this is expected to develop.

Louisa Chambers, a partner in our Technology and Commercial Transactions team, gives a 3 minute primer on recent developments in data protection and their implications for outsourcing transactions – including UK data protection reform, overseas transfers and artificial intelligence.  This is the second in a series of short videos on different aspects of outsourcing.
