AI & The Law: Navigating startup legals in the UK
How prepared is your startup for the legal challenges of building in an AI-driven world?
From IP ownership to data protection, the rise of artificial intelligence is creating new legal questions and new risks for startups at every stage. Whether you're building an AI product or simply using AI tools in your business, it’s essential to understand how these technologies intersect with UK law.
Join SeedLegals for an insightful webinar designed to help UK-based startup founders get to grips with the legal fundamentals and how AI is reshaping the rules of the game.
We’ll cover the essential legal areas every founder should understand, including:
Intellectual Property: Protecting your tech, models, and branding
Employment Law: Hiring in the age of AI and automation
Fundraising: Legal considerations when raising capital
Data & Privacy Law: Navigating GDPR, AI, and data use in your business
We’ll also be highlighting risks, opportunities, and evolving best practices for startups in this space. We’ll leave time for a Q&A at the end so that you can ask the questions that have been burning on your mind.
