Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial Intelligence is transforming industries, driving innovation, and creating new opportunities across the value chain.
At NEON, we provide comprehensive legal support to help businesses navigate the complex regulatory, ethical, and operational challenges of AI. From development to procurement, deployment, and use, we advise on every stage of the AI lifecycle, ensuring compliance, minimizing risks, and maximizing value.
Ensuring Compliance with the AI Act
The EU AI Act introduces a rigorous framework for the regulation of artificial intelligence, focusing on transparency, accountability, and risk management. We guide our clients through the classification of AI systems, compliance with risk-based obligations, and the development of robust documentation and governance processes. Whether working with general-purpose AI systems like LLMs or specialized models tailored through Fine-Tuning, we ensure your AI initiatives meet regulatory requirements without stifling innovation.
Data Protection and AI
The use of AI often involves processing large volumes of data, raising significant privacy concerns. We provide tailored advice on how to integrate AI systems with GDPR and other data protection frameworks. This includes guidance on data minimization, lawful bases for data processing, algorithmic transparency, and safeguards for the use of sensitive or personal data. Our goal is to help you harness the power of AI while protecting individual rights and avoiding regulatory pitfalls.
Intellectual Property and AI
AI development and use bring unique challenges to intellectual property law. We assist clients in addressing copyright issues related to AI-generated works and negotiating licensing agreements for AI systems. Our deep understanding of the intersection of IP and AI enables us to protect your assets and support your business strategies effectively.
Liability and AI
As AI becomes more integrated into business operations, questions of liability grow increasingly complex. We provide clear and actionable advice on liability frameworks, from the allocation of responsibilities in development and supply contracts to product liability considerations for AI-driven services. Our focus is on helping businesses mitigate risks while ensuring clarity and accountability in their AI operations.
AI Value Chain
Our legal expertise spans the entire AI value chain, from R&D and procurement to distribution and operational use. We advise developers on embedding compliance into their AI systems from the outset, guide procurement teams in assessing vendor obligations, and support businesses in deploying AI technologies for service delivery. Whatever your role in the AI ecosystem, we deliver solutions that align with your commercial and operational goals.
