Artificial (Super) Intelligence & AI Governance

452BB85E-9647-47FE-B889-F9C508DA1DEA

The use of artificial intelligence in business is not simply a technology investment; it is also a matter of governance, risk and legal responsibility.

Iste & Iste advises companies on the legal and strategic aspects of developing, procuring, deploying and using artificial intelligence systems across their business operations.

We approach AI projects not only from a regulatory compliance perspective, but in the context of our clients’ business models, data practices, technology infrastructure, contractual relationships and corporate governance frameworks. Rather than assessing the technology in isolation, we place the specific use case at the centre of our analysis, considering the purpose of the system, the data involved, affected individuals and stakeholders, third-party providers, decision-making mechanisms and potential legal implications.

Our aim is to identify and address legal risks at the design and decision-making stage, rather than after deployment, enabling companies to adopt and use AI within a robust, accountable and sustainable governance framework.
