In today's episode, I'm speaking with Ellen Keenan-O'Malley, a commercial IP lawyer at EIP, about the legal challenges surrounding Artificial Intelligence and Conversational AI.

We discuss the current state of AI law, the implications of GDPR on Conversational AI, and the importance of understanding liability in AI solutions.

Ellen emphasizes the need for companies to consider legal aspects from the outset of AI development and highlights the evolving role of legal professionals in the tech landscape.
