Digital and innovation

AI has the potential to transform and disrupt all areas of business. However, AI is unlike other technologies in that it learns from access and exposure to historic and ongoing data, and has the ability to make decision independently and also determine the basis on which those decisions are made. As such, the management of risk associated with use and deployment of AI demands a new and different approach.

On this site, we examine the legal, regulatory, compliance and ethical implications of the use of AI. Central to this analysis is the application of analogue law to a digital word.

All companies are faced by a growing number of digital risks.  These risks are not confined to those perpetrating ever more sophisticated and threatening cyber-attacks.  The threat of the catastrophic failure of digital assets, theft of digital intellectual capital and assets, fake news and misinformation as well as data breaches, all have the potential to dramatically erode shareholder value and negatively impact reputation. Moreover, this is against a background of an increasingly strict regulatory and compliance environment. As such assessing and having a plan in place to address all digital risks is an urgent matter for the Board.
