Why Choose Our Artificial Intelligence Lawyer?
Artificial intelligence legal solutions
Our experienced artificial intelligence solicitor can help you navigate the complex and rapidly evolving world of AI, enabling you to achieve the best possible outcome for your AI challenges.
Whether you’re using artificial intelligence to maximise your business’s potential or facing the challenges of generative AI cannibalising your business, we can support you.
For example, you are an SME data scrapping using software and AI to track, categorise, and analyse digital content which you license to businesses and consumers; or you are a medium-sized YouTube Channel in the arena of gaming and NFTs, and generative AI is being used to cannibalise your content, effortlessly duplicating your art and text.
Our artificial intelligence solicitor will advise you on the complex legal landscapes, particularly intellectual property, data protection and contract law.
Our Artificial Intelligence Lawyer Will Guide You In Understanding The Legal Framework of Artificial Intelligence
Tailored Legal Services for AI-Related Issues
Navigating the legal landscape surrounding artificial intelligence involves several key areas, including intellectual property law, data protection regulations, and contract law.
Intellectual Property Considerations for AI Solicitors and Lawyers
Intellectual property (IP) law is critical for navigating AI. We help protect creations such as software, music, art, and written works and provide IP advice for anyone operating in both digital and offline spaces.
Recent Case Studies and Implications
Copyright Infringement and AI
Recent cases, such as The New York Times v. Microsoft and OpenAI, consolidated with Daily News v. Microsoft and OpenAI and CIR v. Microsoft and OpenAI, primarily center around issues of copyright infringement and the use of news articles in training AI models like OpenAI's ChatGPT.
Key Issues: 1. Copyright Infringement: The claimants argue that Microsoft and OpenAI have used articles from their publications without permission to train AI models. This raises questions about whether such use constitutes copyright infringement, given that the output of the AI may be derivative of the original texts. 2. Fair Use Defence: does the use of the articles fall under fair use, which requires consideration of factors such as purpose, nature, amount used, and effect on the market value of the original work. The outcomes hinge on how the court interprets these factors in the context of AI training. 3. Implications for Content Creators: This case has broader implications for how news organisations, and content creators more generally, can protect their intellectual property in an age where AI technologies can generate text based on vast amounts of training data, which may include copyrighted material. 4. Transparency and Accountability in AI: The lawsuit also touches on concerns around transparency in how AI models are trained, including the datasets used and whether content creators are adequately compensated or credited. 5. Industry Standards: What should be the industry practices regarding using copyrighted material in AI training processes?
Advance Local Media LLC v. Cohere Inc. which raises important issues at the intersection of copyright law, specifically direct copyright infringement, secondary copyright infringement, but also trade mark infringement, and false designation of origin. The evolving role of AI in content creation, and the need for media companies to protect their intellectual property in a digital landscape increasingly dominated by technology, continues to evolve, and we are closely monitoring the evolution of this area of law.
The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 is the most relevant statute underpinning AI legal development in the UK
Licensing and Contract Law In the AI World
Importance of Licensing for AI Businesses
Licensing is a cornerstone of operating a digital media business. Our expert artificial intelligence solicitors will advise you on licensing strategy, which is essential for businesses wishing to avoid liability for copyright infringement.
Obtaining the correct contractual licenses protects your service from potential lawsuits. It also builds trust with content creators and secures a stable operational environment.
Artificial Intelligence Data Scraping
Unauthorised data scraping can infringe on copyrights or violate terms of service, exposing your business to expensive legal suits. We will provide strategies to mitigate legal risks.
Data Protection Regulations and AI Related Legal Issues
Data protection regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU and the Data Protection Act in the UK, impose strict guidelines on how personal data can be collected, processed, and stored. For AI systems, which often rely on large datasets to learn and make predictions, compliance with these regulations is essential to avoid legal repercussions.
Consent and Transparency: AI developers must ensure that they obtain explicit consent from individuals whose data is being used. This includes being transparent about how their data will be utilised in AI training processes.
Data Minimisation: AI systems should only collect data that is necessary for their intended purpose. This principle helps in reducing the risk of data breaches and ensures that personal information is not misused.
Right to Access and Erasure: Individuals have the right to access their data and request its deletion. AI systems must be designed to accommodate these rights, which can complicate the data management processes.
Accountability and Compliance: Organisations must implement robust data protection measures and conduct regular audits to ensure compliance with data protection laws. This includes training staff on data handling practices and establishing clear policies for data usage in AI applications.
Impact Assessments: Conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) is essential when developing AI systems that process personal data. DPIAs help identify potential risks and ensure that appropriate measures are in place to mitigate them.
