Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an increasingly pervasive aspect of modern life, thanks to its role in a wide variety of industries and applications. Our technology team will help you navigate this area, using our expertise to help you maximise opportunities, and minimise risk. We can guide and advise you on market-leading, pragmatic approaches to suit your needs, wherever you are.

Overview

No longer used solely by innovative technology companies, AI is now considered to be of strategic importance to almost every type of organisation - even in more risk-averse sectors such as healthcare, retail banking and insurance. Individual consumers are also increasingly using AI tools for productivity, financial management, and entertainment purposes.

With our deep experience and knowledge, we can provide the legal support you need to harness the power of AI, meet regulatory obligations, and protect yourself from its risks.

Whether you are a supplier of AI solutions, looking for an AI solution, or want to better understand the ethics and regulation of AI and its implications for you – we can help.

The advancement and applicability of AI systems has exploded for many reasons, including cheaper data storage, increased computing resources, more sophisticated models (such as LLMs), and an ever-growing output of consumer data and content.

While the various implications of AI in different sectors continues to evolve, it remains an important and fascinating space to watch. Our technology team is here to help you with the expertise required to understand its potential for you.
