WALLESS Counsel Tea Park at the Baltic Technology Transfer Network annual conference “Navigating the Next Era of Knowledge Transfer: AI, Commercialization and Beyond”

AI can make the transfer of research and new technologies from universities to business faster and more effective, but it also brings legal obligations that need to be addressed from the outset.
Depending on the data and information involved, questions may arise around confidentiality, personal data protection and cybersecurity. The EU AI Act adds further requirements, including transparency obligations for certain AI-generated or AI-manipulated content. GDPR issues can also emerge in less obvious ways, for example where access rights to data are not managed correctly.
These were among the topics discussed at the Baltic Technology Transfer Network annual conference “Navigating the Next Era of Knowledge Transfer: AI, Commercialization and Beyond”, where WALLESS Counsel and Senior Associate Tea Park joined a panel on AI in knowledge transfer.
Tea highlighted the importance of identifying the relevant regulatory requirements early and building them into organisational processes from the outset.
