AI Operations
At NUR Legal, we provide specialized legal support for businesses deploying AI technologies, helping you navigate the rapidly evolving regulatory environment. Our expertise covers compliance with emerging AI laws, data privacy requirements, and ethical standards—ensuring your AI operations are both innovative and fully compliant.
Our AI Operation Legal Services Include:
-
AI Compliance Audit & Gap Analysis
Reviewing your AI systems and practices against current and upcoming regulations (EU AI Act, sectoral laws) and issuing a report on compliance gaps. This covers data handling, documentation, transparency, and risk controls.
Policy Development for AI Use
Drafting internal policies or guidelines for AI development and deployment, covering areas like data procurement, model training ethics, bias testing, and incident response (what to do if the AI malfunctions). These policies help instill an internal culture of responsible AI use.
-
Regulatory Filings and Representation
Assisting in any registration or conformity assessment processes (for example, helping prepare technical files for a high-risk AI system to get EU CE marking). If a regulator or authority has questions about your AI (perhaps under GDPR or consumer law), we prepare responses and represent your interests.
-
Contractual Safeguards for AI Transactions
Preparing and negotiating contracts involving AI, such as AI-as-a-Service agreements, data sharing agreements for AI training data, partnership agreements for AI development, and procurement contracts when buying AI solutions. We ensure these contracts have the necessary clauses to protect you (IP ownership, data privacy, service level agreements, liability limitations specific to AI outcomes).
-
Continuous Monitoring of AI Law
We act as your sentinels on evolving AI legal issues. Through our advisory retainer, we keep you updated on new laws (e.g. if a country bans a certain AI practice or a new standard is published) and advise on adjustments. We also can train your legal or compliance teams on AI regulations, enhancing your in-house capability to manage AI risks.
AI Regulatory Compliance (EU AI Act)
We help companies navigate the world’s first comprehensive AI law – the EU Artificial Intelligence Act – and other emerging AI regulations globally. The EU AI Act (expected to take effect by 2025–2026) establishes a risk-based framework classifying AI systems as prohibited, high-risk, limited-risk, or minimal-risk, with obligations corresponding to the risk level. Our team will determine how your AI system is categorized and what legal requirements apply. For high-risk AI (e.g. AI used in finance, hiring, medical devices), we assist in meeting stringent requirements: setting up a risk management system, ensuring high-quality training data to avoid bias, documentation and record-keeping of the model’s design and testing, providing proper human oversight mechanisms, and registering the system in the EU database . We also ensure you’re prepared for the AI Act’s conformity assessment (some AI systems will require certification/CE marking before deployment). Additionally, we advise on transparency obligations – for example, if you use AI that interacts with consumers (like chatbots or deepfake generators), the law may require informing users that they are interacting with AI.
Data Privacy and AI
AI systems often process large volumes of data, potentially including personal data. We ensure that your AI operations respect data protection laws like the GDPR. This involves advising on lawful bases for processing personal data in AI training (e.g. consent or legitimate interests), implementing privacy-by- design in AI development, and handling special categories of data (sensitive data) appropriately (the EU AI Act will actually permit using sensitive data for bias correction under certain strict conditions ). We draft and review Data Protection Impact Assessments for AI projects, which regulators increasingly expect when algorithms make automated decisions affecting individuals. If your AI makes decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on people (such as credit scoring or recruitment filters), we guide you on providing required notices and ensuring human review options in line with GDPR automated decision rules. Moreover, we navigate issues of data minimization and anonymization – helping you find the balance between feeding AI with enough data and not violating privacy principles.
Intellectual Property in AI
With AI, new types of legal liability can arise – for example, if an autonomous system causes harm or if an algorithm’s decision leads to loss. We counsel clients on allocating and mitigating these risks. This includes reviewing and drafting warranty and liability clauses in contracts for AI products (e.g. limiting liability for AI decision outcomes, or obtaining indemnities from AI tool vendors). We also analyze potential liability under existing laws: product liability (if AI is in a consumer product, ensuring it meets safety standards to avoid being deemed defective), professional liability (if AI gives advice or diagnoses), or even emerging AI-specific liability regimes. Notably, the EU is working on an AI Liability Directive to ease victims’ ability to sue for AI-caused harm. We keep you informed on these developments and adjust risk strategies accordingly. Insurance is another facet – we advise on what insurance coverage (cyber insurance, professional indemnity, product liability insurance) might cover AI-related incidents and where there are gaps. In high-stakes AI deployments (e.g. healthcare or autonomous vehicles), we might recommend setting up special purpose structures or additional buffers to ring-fence liability.
