Artificial intelligence - a new frontier?

Episode Summary

This audio insight, recorded at a recent TLT Digital Futures seminar, looks at some of the key opportunities and challenges presented by artifical intelligence.

Episode Notes

Speakers Daniel Lloyd, Emma Erskine-Fox, Brian Craig and Juliet Mason explore:

Is AI actually intelligent?
Is there an AI out there now that could fool a human mind and pass the Turing test? We discuss why AI is more than just mere processing power and what makes a system intelligent.
How do intellectual property rights apply to AI?
Can AI create new works, and if so who owns these works? How can we manage the risks and uncertainty around ownership in IP rights "created" by an AI?
Privacy and ethics in AI
The application of the General Data Protection Regulation principles to the development and deployment of AI. What are the risks and challenges of using AI to make wholly automated decisions about individuals? How do ethical considerations link to the privacy legal framework? We will discuss how an ethical approach can help to facilitate compliance.

We also answer some great audience questions, such as:

• When delivering AI services that customers can use, if something goes wrong, who has liability and how is it managed?
• How does a company such as an adtech vendor mitigate, or use a DPIA, to ensure that their processing is lawful and it doesn't impede the rights and freedoms of individuals?
