AI – the threats it poses to reputation, privacy and cyber security, and some practical solutions to combating those threats
Disclaimer: This article was written with the help of AI but also by Michael Yates, Andi Terziu and Alisha Persaud.
MoreWith AI helping to exacerbate cyber threats, legislators in the EU and UK are acting to stem the tide. Significant legislation is either newly in place or on the horizon, and complying with new obligations while preparing for or handling cyber incidents is becoming increasingly challenging. In this edition, we look at the impact of AI on the cyber threat landscape and how to mange risks. We also look at relevant legislative developments (including relating to the UK's PSTIA and the EU's AI Act, revised PLD, DORA and NIS2 implementation). We're nothing if not a full service law firm so we cover how to prepare for and weather the emotional fallout of a cyber attack – it's all part of the service.

MoreData exports continue to be high on the agenda but data sharing (of personal and non-personal data) is being looked at much more widely by the EU and the UK in the context of providing individuals with control over their data, opening up the potential of big data, and breaking down barriers to competition. We look at incoming EU legislation relating to data sharing with particular focus on the draft Data Act, as well as at the ICO's Code of Practice on Data Sharing, Privacy Shield 2.0 and data sharing requirements for the UK's Pensions Dashboard.
