AI in the Law Firm: Confidentiality, Professional Secrecy and Bar Rules
Lawyers already use general-purpose chatbots and specialised legal platforms, often without a firm policy. The session explains what professional secrecy and data protection law require when client documents reach an AI tool, which contract terms matter when choosing a provider, and how the 2025 Recommendations of the Polish National Bar of Attorneys-at-Law translate these duties into daily practice. Participants leave with a checklist they can apply to any tool.
The EU AI Act Inside an Organisation: AI Literacy and the Provider Trap
Most organisations are deployers under the AI Act, yet two provisions catch them off guard. Article 4 requires a sufficient level of AI literacy among staff, and Article 25 can turn a deployer into a provider when it rebrands or substantially modifies a system. The session shows how both duties apply to ordinary tools, what documentation regulators will ask for, and where the line between deployer and provider runs in practice.
Board Liability for Deploying AI
When an AI system causes harm, the question soon turns to the management board. The session sets out the board's duties of oversight under company law, the AI Act and data protection law, the decisions that should be documented before deployment, and the warning signs that an AI project has outgrown its governance. Examples come from court cases and regulatory decisions on AI.
