Matt Hervey and I are on a panel at an upcoming Westminster eForum this November – and it’ll be a wide-ranging discussion – the full title for the exchange is:
Legal, policy, security, and regulatory priorities – supporting innovation while understanding risks, regulatory agility, IP, and strategies for effective knowledge sharing across sectors
Matt is head of Artificial Intelligence Law at Gowling (and topical with the volume The Law of Artificial Intelligence, co-authored with Matthew Lavy). My focus will be on Ethical Business Practice and Regulation (as you might have expected).
There’s lots more to look forward to on the day though – including the following confirmed speakers:
Emerging technology and the shifting landscape for regulation
With Gary Clemo, Director, Data Innovation, Ofcom
Supporting adoption – communicating the practical impact of emerging technology on solving real world challenges for organisations of all scales, and priorities for skills development and promoting career paths
With Sue Daley, Director, Tech and Innovation, techUK alongside
