The EU AI Act - An Introduction to Risks, Compliance & More

Introduction

Now that it has been enacted, the EU AI Act is set to be one of the most influential pieces of technology legislation globally. It contains a complex and far-reaching set of regulations which will affect organisations in almost every jurisdiction.

With fines of up to 7% annual global turnover, the risks of contravention are serious, and many organisations are already investing significantly in compliance.

Lawyers have a major role to play in helping their clients to understand and ultimately to comply with the EU AI Act’s highly technical requirements. Join AI expert Jacob Turner for this webinar which will provide you with a basic overview of the EU’s AI Act and how this will apply in practice.
