Investing in artificial intelligence (AI) companies has become a riskier and more involved process than in previous years. Companies need new processes and tools to follow the more stringent AI regulations that are on the horizon (at least in Europe and the United States). Regulators are discussing how best to structure AI regulations in order to align risk management with optimizing the potential value creation of these technologies. Investors should take a similar approach in their investment strategy. Read on for a discussion of the considerations investors should keep in mind as they vet their investment pipeline.

Cybersecurity and Data Privacy – What to expect in 2022
Threats to cybersecurity and data privacy are constantly increasing both in volume and complexity. This trend is expected to continue in 2022. In a bid to protect cybersecurity and ensure data is properly safeguarded, countries around the world are introducing new laws focused on cybersecurity and data protection. Armed with new legal frameworks, regulators and law enforcement are placing onerous obligations on organisations who fall victim to cybersecurity breaches. There are shorter deadlines in which to notify the authorities of data breaches and ever increasing fines and penalties for businesses that fail to respond swiftly and appropriately to a cyberattack.

Frenemies Video Series – Season 1: Marketers and Lawyers Learn to Speak the Same Language
There’s tension in this relationship. Marketing and the legal department know they need each other, but that doesn’t mean they always understand each other.
Marketers are out-of-the-box thinkers whose ideas engage customers and drive company revenue. Lawyers help the business stay in business by avoiding unnecessary risk, which sometimes requires them to say “no” to the marketing team’s ideas. It’s no wonder the departments are often frenemies, supporting the same organizational goals, but sometimes pushing back on each other.
In the interests of peace, love and understanding, McGuireWoods’ IP and privacy teams present “Frenemies,” a series of short videos covering legal considerations in advertising. We hope these episodes help marketing and legal departments understand each other, work together, issue-spot, and maybe go from being frenemies to friends. Registration is not required and after release, each season will be available for binge watching from your office or your couch.Continue Reading Frenemies Video Series – Season 1: Marketers and Lawyers Learn to Speak the Same Language
