Join this conversation on who regulators are holding to account for legal violations, novel harms and emerging risks that span tech supply chains or are shared as developers, deployers and users engage with new technologies. Competition, communications, finance, privacy and other domains bring unique rulebooks and regulatory remits. How should companies and institutions assess the liability they face across these domains as they consider new vendors, new services and new offerings for their customers that rely on or supply the data or technology of others? How can regulators operate within their lanes while building broad-based trust in digital services?
What you will learn:
- How different jurisdictions and sectoral regulators are approaching liability in AI and digital services.
- Whether there are emerging areas of double jeopardy.
- How organizations are addressing AI liability in contracts and product terms.
