ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

The legal landscape for AI continues to rapidly evolve. We help organizations navigate compliance by: 

• Analyzing AI systems for compliance with U.S. federal and state laws on AI and automated decisionmaking, including legal requirements and guidance from the FTC and states like California and Colorado. 
• Providing insights on the EU AI Act and high-risk AI systems. 
• Recommending and implementing processes to address privacy, bias, and regulatory risks. 
• Advising on implementing consumer opt-ins and opt-outs where applicable. 
• Drafting and updating policies to include transparency regarding the use of AI and automated decisionmaking. 
• Offering guidance on how to stay up to date with new and emerging AI standards, technology, and laws to maintain compliance over time.

• Develop technical guidelines and controls for product and development teams, outlining legal requirements and best practices to consider when building and utilizing AI systems.
• Draft development plans and governance frameworks that enhance accountability and promote responsible AI use. 
• Establish policies for AI adoption and oversight. 
• Define roles, responsibilities, and escalation paths for AI-related decisions. 
• Provide guidance on vendor management to address third-party risks. 

Generative AI technologies offer transformative possibilities but also introduce unique compliance challenges. We assist organizations in: 

• Determining when and how to deploy generative AI technologies by evaluating risks, benefits, and ethical considerations for specific use cases.
• Developing strategies for prompt engineering and input design to minimize unintended outcomes and improve system reliability.
• Creating policies for monitoring and mitigating risk related to data privacy, such as unintended data leakage.

Whether your organization is building or deploying AI systems, effective data management presents unique risks. We provide legal and strategic guidance to: 

• Assess how data used in training or deployment aligns with legal and industry standards.
• Draft and conduct risk and compliance assessments that align with relevant legal and industry obligations, as well as an organization's business objectives.
• Draft and conduct readiness assessments and audits.
• Identify risks related to data misuse, improper collection, poor data quality, and bias.   
• Develop strategies to help mitigate regulatory risk such as model or data deletion. 

Adopting AI responsibly requires attention to ethical considerations. We provide strategic guidance to: 

• Promote ethical oversight of AI systems by helping organizations establish clear roles and responsibilities for monitoring AI practices.
• Address issues of bias, fairness, and accountability by identifying risks and implementing measures to support equitable outcomes. 

AI systems often handle personal and sensitive data, making data privacy and security essential. We assist organizations in: 

• Using technologies such as Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) to reduce data privacy risks and enhance compliance efforts. 
• Implementing measures to minimize data leakage while helping maintain AI system functionality and performance.
• Aligning existing data privacy compliance efforts with AI compliance efforts 
• Recommending practices to strengthen data security in alignment with compliance obligations. 

A shared understanding between legal teams and technologists is key to successful AI adoption and use. We provide training programs to: 

• Equip legal professionals with foundational technical knowledge of AI technologies. 
• Educate technologists and developers on relevant legal frameworks. 
• Foster collaboration and open dialogue between legal and technical teams to align business objectives with compliance efforts.
