AI is changing the way businesses operate. Alongside the enormous potential benefits are a host of legal implications and potential pitfalls. DLA Piper’s Technology Disputes group are partnering with the authors of The Law of Artificial Intelligence (Matthew Lavy, Iain Munro, and Rebecca Keating, all 4 Pump Court) for a practical seminar on AI projects from contracting to dispute resolution. Whether you are a supplier of AI systems or a customer procuring AI, this webinar will highlight the most important issues for your business and give you insight into the closed-door conversations of your counterparties. Using a light-hearted scenario as its inspiration, this session aims to bring the topic to life and to help you get ready for the AI revolution.

The talk will cover:

  • Why it matters that you are contracting for AI - the legal implications you should know about.
  • Provisions to include in your contract to maximise the prospects of a successful project.
  • AI liability issues and best practices if a dispute should arise.
  • Practical remedies in the event of a dispute.
