Artificial Intelligence and the Law
Charlotte Walker-Osborn, Christopher Chan · ITNOW · 2017

Charlotte Walker-Osborn, Head of Technology, Media and Telecoms Sector, with input from Christopher Chan, Intellectual Property Law Partner, both at global law-firm Eversheds Sutherland, give us a brief perspective on the current status.
