The Birmingham Law Society Legal Tech Committee is delighted to welcome Matthew Lavy KC and colleagues to Birmingham for a special event examining the recently published UK Jurisdiction Taskforce (UKJT) Legal Statement on Liability for AI Harms.

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in legal and commercial activity, questions of responsibility and liability are moving rapidly from the theoretical to the practical. The UKJT Legal Statement considers how established principles of English private law apply where the use of AI causes non-deliberate harm and provides an important framework for lawyers, businesses and technology providers navigating this developing area.

Matthew Lavy KC, who chaired the UKJT drafting group, will be joined by colleagues involved in the project to discuss the Legal Statement, its practical significance and what may come next as AI technologies and their use continue to develop.
