Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning help businesses automate routine tasks, get detailed insights, and make better decisions. But as these systems have evolved, so has our understanding of the risks they bring. With many falling outside existing law and regulation, AI is firmly in the sights of policymakers - promising businesses a bumpy road ahead.

What generative artificial intelligence and foundation models are, and how they work Which businesses and industries are using generative AI to steal a march on their peers Which issues these novel technologies bring about, and how you can protect against them

Big data and advances in computing capability have combined to give rise to a powerful new class of artificial intelligence (AI) that makes it possible for machines to write, draw, code, and create content with credible - and sometimes incredible - results. Generative AI is expected to transform functions and industries, but only for those who navigate the novel risks and evolving patchwork of laws and regulations.

Generative AI & Foundation Models

What cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, NFTs and CBDCs are, and how they function How pioneering businesses are using digital assets, and their impact on industries What issues digital assets give rise to, and how to protect against them

Blockchain has redefined our concept of value; from digital scarcity to tokenisation, successive advances have given us new ways to store and exchange value in digital form. Cryptocurrencies, stablecoins and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are now commonplace. But to benefit, businesses must navigate a rapidly shifting global landscape in which policymakers and regulators grapple to balance innovation with protection.

DIGITAL Assets & Crypto

What blockchain technology is, and how it works How businesses and ecosystems are being reshaped by blockchain infrastructure Which risks blockchain technology brings about, and how to mitigate them

Blockchain has transformed how we store and share data. It provides unmatched transparency, trust and security, streamlining the exchange of information around the world. No surprise that some see it as an inevitable part of ecosystems and businesses of the future. But nuances and novel functionality, like smart contracts, give rise to complex legal issues that businesses must address before putting this technology to use.

Blockchain technology

Which technologies make up the metaverse, and how it works conceptually How businesses and industries are capitalising on the hype surrounding the metaverse Which risks the metaverse brings, and what you can do to avoid falling foul of them

Some call these 3D virtual worlds, in which life is spent as an avatar - working, playing, shopping - mere marketing. Others say they are the future of the internet and online interactions. Reality may lie somewhere between, but businesses using digital worlds must overcome novel legal issues arising from the emerging technologies and experiences that form the metaverse, as well as those seen in the internet today.
