Wolters Kluwer announced a Legal Forum for 2026 to address AI Liability in Regulated Sectors.
The Story
This upcoming event highlights the urgent need for clarity around legal responsibility in AI use.
Why It Matters
The EU AI Act enforcement date of August 2026 is approaching quickly. This Wolters Kluwer event signals that liability is not a future problem; it is a present concern for law firms. Your firm needs to understand its own AI liability as a user, and how to advise clients in regulated industries about theirs. Data sovereignty and compliance with GDPR are paramount.
What To Do About It
Start by auditing your firm’s current and planned AI tools for data handling practices. Verify where client data is processed and stored, ensuring it complies with GDPR and EU AI Act requirements. If you are using Microsoft 365, check your Copilot settings for data residency.
