Transforming challenges into opportunities to do better: ethics, cybersecurity and intellectual property
PARTNER: Lavery Lawyers
It’s hard to talk about Artificial Intelligence without facing the controversy about these 3 key elements for the individual protection of a variety of stakeholders from creators to end-users.
If each of these challenges is important in itself and could benefit from its own forum of exchange, together, these topics represent opportunities to move towards a common mission: to improve industry practices for all these players. So let’s work together!
