Governments and international bodies around the world are being tasked with the difficult job of creating safe regulatory structures for AI, while the technology is being built around us. From a niche concept two years ago to 90%+ adoption in legal teams today, LLMs and the speed of their impact have forced a rapid regulatory response.

Is the EU AI Act the right way forward? How does it compare to the approaches taken by the UK and US? How should legislators approach AI - as a threat to be controlled, an opportunity to be unleashed, or as a right to be enjoyed?

In this webinar we'll dive deep into these difficult questions with an expert panel of speakers, to find out who is getting it right when it comes to AI regulation.
