Oliver Belitz, Tech Lawyer at Bird & Bird explains their approach to Legal Services and AI compliance

As a Tech Lawyer at Bird & Bird, specialising in generative AI, I'm here to help navigate the range of legal challenges that the integration of generative AI can bring.

Our services extend beyond traditional legal advice to offer a holistic legal consultation covering all areas crucial for AI Compliance. This includes regulatory matters such as the AI Act, contract law, intellectual property, and data protection.

Our comprehensive approach ensures your organisation can effectively mitigate potential risks and liabilities associated with deploying cutting-edge technologies such as generative AI.

At Bird & Bird, we address critical questions pertinent to your specific sector and use case, including:

  • Who owns the output of an AI-generated image that your organisation wants to use commercially and publicly?

  • What data can be utilised to fine-tune an open-source model within your organisation?

  • What data should employees be permitted to input into AI tools, considering the contractual framework of those tools?

  • How can a tailored Use Policy best manage your employees' AI usage, in line with your organisation's risk appetite?

  • What considerations are necessary in contracts with AI providers, whether terms of use or individually negotiated contracts?

  • Do your existing customer agreements need amendments if AI-generated output is part of your service offering

Additionally, our services extend to assisting businesses across various sectors and sizes in preparing for the implications of the EU AI Act. Are you questioning whether your tool's usage falls under the AI Act's regulations? Wondering about the immediate steps you should take? We will collaborate with you to formulate a strategy for AI Act compliance, ensuring you are fully prepared.

Our deep technical understanding of AI, combined with our extensive legal expertise, enables us to provide tailored legal advice that ensures your business navigates the AI landscape with confidence and compliance.

In partnership with NDI, we integrate our legal support seamlessly with NDI's technological solutions, ensuring that our joint customers receive cohesive and comprehensive support tailored to their specific needs.
