Artificial
Intelligence
Burke Data & Privacy (BDP) advises organizations seeking to deploy artificial intelligence in a manner consistent with the evolving legal and regulatory landscape. Our practice also extends to companies that develop and offer AI-powered products, as well as to organizations seeking greater visibility into, and governance over, AI systems already operating within their enterprise.
Liability under emerging AI laws can attach to an organization both as a "provider" of AI technology and as a "deployer" of AI tools developed by others. BDP advises clients on which legal and regulatory regimes apply to their intended use of AI—whether in connection with internal enterprise deployment or the offering of an AI-enabled product or service.
AI Deployment Within the Enterprise
For organizations deploying AI internally—whether open source, proprietary systems or third-party vendor AI tools. BDP assists in the development and implementation of a comprehensive AI legal program. This includes the drafting of governing policies and procedures, as well as the compliance and enforcement mechanisms necessary to ensure adherence.
AI Product and Service Providers
For companies that offer AI-powered products, BDP advises on the applicable contractual and regulatory requirements, including obligations arising under the European Union's AI Act and related EU governance frameworks. BDP also assists clients in satisfying the privacy-by-design requirements under the EU/UK GDPR by conducting risk assessments at the outset of the product development lifecycle, rather than retrospectively.
Methodology
BDP's approach extends beyond conventional legal analysis. Our attorneys examine the underlying AI technology, system architecture, and data flows, as well as the specific use case at issue, to develop policies and legal solutions that are both practical and legally compliant. This methodology enables clients to achieve the governance, compliance posture, and strategic clarity required to pursue AI initiatives with confidence.
