Data Protection & AI in the UK: Risk Management for In-House Counsel

Introduction

This webinar is for in-house counsel advising private organisations on the adoption and use of AI tools. It focuses on the practical legal, data protection and governance questions that arise when AI is being considered, procured and used across the organisation, within a developing UK legal and regulatory landscape.

Using a simple framework, the session will help in-house counsel identify the key legal and governance issues they should address before AI tools are adopted, including procurement and contracting, higher-risk data use, workforce applications, internal controls and the steps needed to support clear and defensible decision-making.

Please note, this webinar is concerned with the organisational adoption and use of AI tools and does not offer specialist advice on building, developing or designing AI products.
