AI is accelerating digital change and it continues to shape the outlook for 2024, bringing disruption and opportunity. But it remains a challenging path for businesses to drive value and manage the risks associated with AI in a shifting legal landscape.
At the mid-year point, we see GenAI capability continuing to advance, investment flowing into AI and the digital infrastructure supporting it, and the Middle East growing in significance as a tech hub. The businesses implementing AI successfully at scale are embracing AI to advance their business priorities, addressing the risk issues, and continually testing, learning and optimising their solutions.
In the latest wave of digital transformation, AI is also helping to transform the payment systems, products and services that underpin the digital economy. And while the increasing power demands of AI present sustainability issues, AI is also part of the solution to transition to net zero.
As the legal landscape continues to evolve to try to keep pace with these tech advances, we highlight some of the key legal trends for 2024.
