AI technologies can be applied throughout the advertising landscape, from fine-tuning programmatic buying and audience targeting to creating content. The digital marketing sector has, in fact, drawn on such tools for years—virtually every participant in the online ad ecosystem, including exchanges, networks, publishers, social platforms and brands (or the media agencies purchasing on their behalf), has relied on AI to varying degrees to steer spend, conduct real-time bidding and sales, generate reports, deliver and target at scale, and assess campaign performance. For additional insight into the role of non‑generative AI in digital advertising, see the Further resources referenced below. By contrast, the recent boom in generative AI solutions and technologies (described as ‘AI systems’ in this Practice Note) has transformed the market and shaken established monetisation approaches. Each wave of change brings fresh commercial possibilities alongside novel legal exposures for stakeholders throughout the ecosystem and increased regulatory scrutiny...

CASE HUB ARCHIVED This archived case hub captures the position as at the judgment of 10 July 2014 and is no longer being updated.

1 The issue We must preserve the confidentiality of current and former clients’ affairs unless one of the following applies: disclosure is required or permitted by law; or the client gives consent. The duty of confidentiality is a fundamental obligation of a solicitor. It is an unqualified responsibility to keep information confidential, not merely to take reasonable steps towards that end. Working away from the office, including from home, inevitably means handling and discussing sensitive matters outside a controlled environment. Security is a major concern and, inseparable from it, confidentiality. Although we operate on secure networks, once information leaves the office or discussions occur elsewhere, security cannot be assured. Confidentiality is far easier to maintain in a protected workspace such as our offices; therefore, when working in other locations, we must remain alert to confidentiality risks in our personal and work settings and exercise extra care with confidential data. 2 What we need from you Wherever you are working, it...
