The challenge for most legal departments today is daunting: Do it more, do it quickly, do it with fewer in-house staff, and, above all, keep costs down. Many law departments have come to appreciate that the cultivation of a staff of nonlawyers is as important-if not more important-than staffing corridors of offices full of JDs with sterling credentials. It's a lot less expensive, too.

The EU AI Act is hotly anticipated as being a benchmark AI law that other jurisdictions might look towards when developing their own laws (much like GDPR has become a standard upon which some other countries’ own laws are based). First, much like the GDPR in terms of impact, the EU AI Act will have an extra-territorial scope, extending to providers and users of AI outside the EU where the output is used in the EU. Secondly, the Act does lay down fixed penalties for certain infringements of the Act, the highest fine being 30,000,000 EUR or 6% of a company’s total worldwide annual turnover (3% in the case of an SME or start-up) for non-compliance with the prohibitions of AI practices.
