Why Cripps?
At Cripps, our commitment to responsible AI is deeply rooted in our active involvement with the UK's leading AI governance initiatives. We don't just anticipate the future of AI regulation – we are on the front line, helping to build it, ensuring that good AI governance and ethics are at its core.
As technology lawyers we are proud to be directly engaged in critical initiatives such as the DSIT AIME tool consultation, helping the UK Government to provide clear, practical steps for organisations to establish a baseline of good practice for managing AI systems.
We also recognise the critical intersection of AI and data privacy and have actively consulted with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) on their consultation series on generative AI and data protection and with the Intellectual Property Office in connection with AI’s impact on the copyright laws in this country.
As a B-Corp law firm we are driven by the impact we can have on our clients and on the world around us. We believe that we have a critical role to play in supporting businesses transitioning towards the adoption of and reliance on AI tools throughout their operations. In order to ensure that your transition to AI does not come with unwanted and unintended consequences, a clear way to achieve this is to ensure that responsible AI is underpinned by transparent and good governance throughout your procurement and use of AI across your platforms. The only way to do this is to ensure that responsible AI is underpinned by transparent and good governance throughout the procurement and use of AI across their platforms.
