Artificial intelligence (AI) and IT
Today’s entrepreneurs operate in the fastest-changing environment in history. Technological advances in IT, data flows and cloud solutions, the growth of e-commerce transactions, augmented reality and artificial intelligence (AI), not to mention the potential spread of quantum computers, offer a vast range of business opportunities, but they also entail previously unknown risks. Many legal issues arise when modern technology, IT solutions and AI are deployed to work either independently or to support human activities. For example, who owns the copyright to the database that has been created? Who is responsible for the algorithm? How should a company regulate the relationship between human activities and AI?
Technological progress presents the IT sector with new challenges, particularly for software developers and cybersecurity experts. Advanced IT solutions require careful and comprehensive legal protection to ensure security and due benefits for both users and technology developers.
In the face of dynamic changes, companies need reliable and experienced advisers who can assist them in navigating not only technological, but also legal intricacies.
