5 QUESTIONS TO OLIVIA
What does the law mean to you?

It is undoubtedly artificial intelligence, but that’s a positive thing. It raises many legal questions, particularly regarding liability and data protection. The challenge, therefore, is to strike the right balance: harnessing the power of AI without compromising legal rigour.
