Artificial Intelligence (Ai)​

AI Act (AI) Compliance

The European Union has enacted the Artificial Intelligence Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) that requires operators and developers of artificial intelligence technology to comply with its legal framework.

Amongst other items the regulation sets out:

  • Certain risks that can occur from using AI applications
  • Prohibited practices that cause certain risks
  • A list of applications considered high risk
  • Requirements specific to high risk AI applications
  • The precise obligations for developers and operators of AI prior to go to the market
  • Enforcement of AI after being placed on the market
  • The EU and national governance systems

Our specialized legal consulting services help:

  1. Businesses & Startups Using AI,
  2. Tech Companies & AI Developers,
  3. Legal & Compliance Teams navigate the complexities of this legislation.

Contact us today and schedule an initial consultation to discuss your matter.

2. IP Rights infringements

AI systems such as Large Language Models and Generative AI often require data sources for their training and deployment.

Unlike other international intellectual property law regimes, the EU legal frameworks do not provide a per se ‘fair use’ exemption and developers of AI systems run the risk of IP infringements in the European Union.

We work with technology firms & AI developers to navigate IPR infringement risks by:

  1. analyzing the AI training set-up
  2. identifying possible risks of IP infringements
  3. advising of how to develop AI system without IP infringements

 

Contact us today and schedule an initial consultation to discuss your EU IP / AI matter.

3. AI & EU Competition Law infringements

The European Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) outlines in Art.101 & 102 the EU competition law regime, prohibiting collusion between competitors and the abuse of a dominant position respectively.

AI applications may be at risk of infringing both EU and Member State competition rules, in example by:

  • AI driven collusion
  • Algorithmic price discrimination
  • and others

Together with your engineering department we audit your AI applications to steer clear of possible EU competition / antitrust violation.
