ChatGPT & Generative AI - An Advanced Guide to The Legal & Regulatory Aspects

Introduction

Ideal for those who want to take their knowledge of ChatGPT and generative AI to the next level, this virtual classroom seminar will take a more in-depth look at the significant legal issues and regulatory aspects when using this technology and the techniques organisations can use to mitigate the risks involved.

This session is led by Jacob Turner of Fountain Court Chambers who is an expert in the legal regulation of AI and has acted in some of the world’s most significant AI-related cases, including as counsel for Dr Thaler in the UK Supreme court in Thaler v Comptroller-General of Patents (the ‘AI Inventor’ case), representing the claimants in Drivers v Uber and OLA Cabs (the ‘robo-firing’ case), and defending (successfully) the first company investigated by the UK data protection regulator for alleged AI bias.
