Welcome to the new world of AI. Today, for our latest episode, we are going to talk about the current status in both the UK and the EU towards the regulation of AI.

However, as we will explore today, there is of course the possibility for different approaches to be taken, depending on the perception of the risk that arises from these technologies and the view taken of the risk versus the possible benefits that arise from it. Featured Speakers: Dina Blikshteyn, Partner at Haynes Boone.  James Brown, Partner at Haynes Boone.
