How to operate ethically Suppliers should review the Data Ethics Framework and adhere to its principles. The Framework is available here Suppliers are accountable for clearly informing people why and when their data is shared, so they can be confident it is used lawfully, fairly and in an equitable way The core principles of the Data Ethics Framework are: respect for persons respect for human rights participation accounting for decision Have a clear value proposition Suppliers must make sure the product is designed to deliver a clear outcome for users or the system To secure a clear value proposition, thoroughly research and define user needs, and involve users across the entire life cycle of the product, including discovery, design, change and post-release review Then generate key performance indicators or other outcome measures to evidence success and highlight potential improvements Usability and...

The European Court of Justice ruled that Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband eV (the Federal Union of Consumer Organisations and Associations) may sue Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd in Germany on behalf of consumers, as the alleged breach—namely, failing to obtain valid consent for collecting users’ data—stemmed from processing users’ information in its App Centre. The court confirmed that representative organisations may bring actions where an infringement of a data subject’s rights arises in the course of personal data processing and results from the controller’s failure to fulfil its duty to give the data subject—at the latest upon collection—information, in a concise, transparent, intelligible and easily accessible form, in clear and plain language, about the purposes of that processing and the recipients of such data. A Berlin appeals court invited the ECJ to provide guidance on the consumer association’s case...

In this issue: Practice and procedure Financial provision Private children International LexTalk®Family: a Lexis®Nexis community Daily and weekly news alerts New content Updated content New Q&As Useful information Practice and procedure CTJ publishes speech by Master of the Rolls on AI The Courts and Tribunals Judiciary (CTJ) has released an address by the Master of the Rolls, Sir Geoffrey Vos, concerning artificial intelligence, entitled ‘AI–Transforming the work of lawyers and judges’, delivered at the AI Conference 2024: Transforming the Legal Landscape on 8 March 2024. He distilled the themes from judicial guidance on AI, stressing that anyone considering generative AI must first understand its capabilities and limits. He warned lawyers and judges not to input confidential material into public large language models (LLMs), because such information could, in theory, become accessible to the wider world. When an LLM is asked to summarise or to compose material, the output should be verified before it...

This Practice Note focuses on how to identify, store and share the knowledge held by in-house legal teams, and how that insight, once surfaced, can be harnessed to create value. Key topics include: the importance of consolidating legal knowledge defining the in-house legal team’s value delivering benefit to the wider organisation spotting and disseminating knowledge challenges and practical solutions ways to communicate the information methods for recording and managing information The importance of consolidating legal knowledge Ambition often collides with reality when considering a business’s accessible knowledge. People want swift access to a compact, clear source, yet they face a sprawling, leaky sea of material that fails them. Too often, the team’s collective know-how sits in sprawling, unruly boxes, with little structure or logic. So what is the remedy? It is time to bring record management up from the basement. Paper should no longer be the dominant medium for storing information; this is the moment to innovate...

Why use artificial intelligence in design? As AI technologies, in particular generative AI, become more widespread and accessible, almost every sector is experiencing changes, opportunities and challenges, and design is indeed no exception. Employed for brainstorming, ideation and early concept development, AI can serve as a powerful aid, helping designers move past creative blocks and investigate a much wider range of visual possibilities. It can also raise efficiency: with generative AI, designers can quickly produce numerous variants and multiple design options at scale. That pace can accelerate the creative process and encourage further experimentation, potentially yielding highly innovative results. Nevertheless, bringing AI into design workflows introduces several legal risks that cannot be ignored. This Practice Note examines how IP practitioners advising design clients should respond to the rising use of AI across the industry by identifying and discussing these risks in detail. It considers ownership of IP rights in computer-generated designs and works lacking a human author, difficulties in protecting designs created wholly or partially by AI, and the...

While the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 (IPA 2016) largely superseded the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA 2000), the Part III provisions of RIPA 2000—dealing with the ability of public bodies to issue notices requiring the decryption of encrypted information or the provision of decryption keys—remain in effect, albeit as modified by the IPA 2016. For further details on the IPA 2016, see Practice Note: The regulation of intelligence gathering—an introductory guide... Investigation of encrypted electronic data RIPA 2000, Pt III governs investigations by a public authority into electronic data protected by encryption. The statutory scheme is supplemented by a Code of Practice, which is admissible in evidence in both criminal and civil proceedings. A wide range of methods enable businesses, individuals and criminals to secure and protect their electronic data and to maintain the privacy of their electronic communications. Such protection can be implemented in various ways; at its simplest, a password may unlock the data and render it accessible in an intelligible form...
