Outpacing the AI revolution

The world is undergoing a technological transformation that is set to impact all human activities. Its scale, scope, complexity and rapid pace has no historical precedent – and it has artificial intelligence (AI) at its heart.

This activity is taking place against a global regulatory landscape which is, with some exceptions, still at an early stage of evolution. Meanwhile, governments across the world are grappling with how best to regulate this technology in a way which fosters innovation and takes advantage of the potential benefits, while also providing appropriate safeguards.

Ashurst is a thought leader on AI and AI regulation and has been advising clients across a wide range of sectors on the legal and practical implications of this technology. This page will be regularly updated with new insights.
