AI

Artificial intelligence algorithms and big data are already being used in hospitals and other areas of healthcare and diagnostics. What exactly does this mean for patients and for those seeking to overcome the legal challenges?

The term "artificial intelligence" (AI) is increasingly attached to emerging technology. While newspaper headlines focus on developments like driverless cars and robot assistants, the real revolution for businesses is currently happening in the context of process automation.

Facial recognition technology (FRT) tends to dominate the headlines when it is used for law enforcement purposes, but its commercial use is one of the more widely visible forms of AI.

Countries including the US and China have traditionally led the way in developing strategies to foster and develop AI technologies, but 2018 has seen the UK and EU taking meaningful steps to position themselves at the forefront of the AI market.
