Diritto intelligente – Issue N. 2

As we move toward 2024, the legal landscape surrounding artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace. With privacy concerns at the forefront, the integration of generative AI tools presents both opportunities and significant challenges. The question is whether we are approaching a critical juncture for more stringent regulation. Privacy frameworks such as the GDPR are under pressure to evolve as AI technologies develop, and global regulations will need to adapt quickly.

In the United States, efforts like the Copied Act proposal signal the beginning of a new era of transparency for AI-generated content. This legislative initiative reflects the need for a legal response that ensures ethical standards are met while fostering innovation. As these frameworks take shape, they highlight the differences in regulatory approaches across jurisdictions, making compliance a complex global issue.

Equally important is the push for mandatory AI training, Training ensures that AI is used responsibly, protecting both users and organizations from unintended legal consequences and is also required under the terms of the EU AI Act. It's not just about compliance, it's about ensuring innovation in an ethical way.

In this issue, we also launched two new series dedicated to legal design and legal tech. Indeed, in this rapidly evolving environment, the role of legal design is essential. By simplifying legal processes and making them more accessible, organizations can more effectively communicate complex legal requirements, especially those involving AI, to clients and stakeholders.

Likewise, as the legal tech market evolves, we see an industry increasingly shaped by AI-driven solutions. These developments signal a transformative period for the legal sector, one in which innovation and regulatory diligence must go hand in hand.

At DLA Piper, we are helping our clients meet these challenges and ensure they stay ahead in this new era of legal complexity.
