AI-washing – the latest developments and how to mitigate the risk
Speakers: Doug Davison, David Thomas and Duncan Campbell
As AI rapidly develops, it brings with it the risk that firms might be accused of ‘AI-washing’: ‘overselling’ their AI’s capabilities, for example to boost sales or reputation or to raise capital. With attentive regulators and well-funding claimant lawyers, this risk must be managed carefully.
In this episode we define AI-washing and give some emerging examples of it. We look at the key civil and regulatory risks. We draw some lessons from recent and cutting-edge US and UK regulatory and enforcement action. And we finish with practical tips about ways you might address this risk in your own businesses.
