Understanding AI & Automation and when to get legal help
The Technology & Privacy practice area focuses on how technology, especially artificial intelligence (AI) and automation, affects our lives and our rights. In New Zealand, this area of law helps ensure that new technologies are used safely and fairly.
What is AI & Automation?
AI refers to computer systems that can perform tasks that usually require human intelligence, like understanding language or recognising images. Automation involves using technology to perform tasks without human intervention, such as robots in factories or software that manages online transactions.
Why is This Important?
As AI and automation become more common, they raise important questions about privacy and safety. For example, when a company uses AI to analyse customer data, it must ensure that personal information is protected. In New Zealand, laws like the Privacy Act 2020 help safeguard your personal data.
Examples of Our Work
- Data Protection: We help businesses understand how to collect and use personal data responsibly. For instance, if a company wants to use AI to send personalised marketing emails, we ensure they follow the law to protect your privacy.
- Compliance: We guide organisations on how to comply with New Zealand laws when implementing AI technologies. This includes making sure that automated systems do not discriminate against anyone.
- Risk Management: We assist businesses in identifying potential risks associated with AI and automation. For example, if a self-driving car is involved in an accident, we help determine liability and ensure safety standards are met.
In summary, the Technology & Privacy practice area, particularly in AI & Automation, is about ensuring that technology is used in a way that respects people's rights and keeps them safe. As technology continues to evolve, our role is to help navigate the legal landscape in New Zealand, making sure that innovation does not come at the cost of privacy and fairness.
