Protecting Privacy and Data Rights in the Age of AI: A Legal Guide for Companies

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the way we live and work, bringing with it a host of new opportunities and efficiencies. As companies increasingly embrace AI to streamline their operations, consumers may have concerns about how their data and privacy rights are being protected. To address these concerns, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has acknowledged that there is a need for increased transparency and compliance when it comes to the development and application of AI.

Consumer-facing companies must ensure that they are using AI in a safe and compliant manner in order to reassure their customers. This means taking into account the legal implications of implementing AI, including relevant consumer protection laws, data security measures, liability for malfunctioning AI, intellectual property rights, and ethical considerations.

To help companies navigate these complex legal issues, Arnold & Porter lawyers are hosting a webinar on the legal implications of implementing AI in consumer products operations. The webinar will cover topics such as transparency, privacy, data security, liability for malfunctioning AI, intellectual property rights, and ethical considerations.

This guide provides an overview of the subject matter but it’s important to seek specialist advice regarding specific circumstances. Companies should take proactive steps to ensure that they are using AI in a safe and compliant manner to protect their customers’ data and privacy rights while also reaping the benefits of this revolutionary technology.
