The SRA’s new warning notice on the misuse of artificial intelligence is not really about some distant future. It is about what is already happening in legal practice. AI tools are being used to summarise documents, draft letters, assist with legal research, prepare chronologies and make routine work quicker. Used sensibly, they can be genuinely helpful. Used carelessly, they can create serious regulatory problems.

The EU Data Act introduces new access by design requirements for connected products and related services, fundamentally changing how IoT providers must handle product data accessibility.

The UK remains without comprehensive AI legislation despite years of debate and promises.

The Financial Stability Board (FSB) has published a letter from its Chair and Governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, to G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors.

AI traffic cameras are camera systems that use artificial intelligence to analyse images of vehicles and their occupants. Their purpose is not simply to photograph a registration plate or record vehicle speed. Instead, they are designed to assess whether the driver appears to be holding or using a handheld mobile phone, whether a seatbelt appears to be missing or incorrectly worn, and in some systems whether other risky behaviours may be present.
