Using AI in Your Business: AI and the Law

This short course explains the UK's principles-based approach to regulating AI, where existing regulators apply existing law rather than a single AI Act. You will learn how the UK GDPR, the Equality Act 2010 and consumer protection law apply when your business uses AI, why copyright in AI-generated content is an unsettled area, and what to look for in contracts with AI suppliers. It also explains when the EU AI Act may matter for UK businesses selling into the EU.
