November 9th, 2023 – Law Firm Risk Management: the safe and effective use of artificial intelligence (AI)
In-person (London)/Virtual GMT / 16:00 EDT / 11:00
For our final event of the year we are thrilled to welcome two partners from Kingsley Napley – Jessica Clay a partner in the Regulatory team and Emily Carter a partner in the Public Law team.
Advancement of artificial intelligence (particularly generative AI and the use of large language models) is fast-paced, and the landscape and what is out there and its capabilities is forever changing. Getting to a place where AI is used safely and effectively, but where the boundaries of innovation can be pushed, is a conundrum that law firms need to start unpicking.
During this session, we will look at what law firms need to be thinking about – with a focus on both data privacy and the regulatory landscape – and the infrastructure and risk management strategies that firms need to implement to reap the benefits and harness the potential of AI.
Watch out for the registration for this event which will be coming soon.
