MLT Aikins has announced two top-tier industry panellists for a client session during the firm's AI, IP Strategy & Contracting for Technology Solutions Conference on June 4, 2024, in Winnipeg.
This is the firm's third consecutive year putting on a conference relating to technology, intellectual property and privacy risks and mitigations.
Jacqueline Keena from EMILI and Shelly Plett from IntouchCX will take part in the session and delve into artificial intelligence (AI) from a client perspective. As business leaders, Jacqueline and Shelly will also highlight how they effectively manage the use of AI day-to-day in their respective organizations and share their thoughts and views on current AI trends.
Other AI-related topics covered at the conference will include: common pitfalls and risks to avoid, including the intersection of AI and privacy, data security, trade secrets and confidential information; how to address the use of AI in your organization (policies and other internal measures); and how to address AI and preserve legal rights in contracts.
An interactive, real-time webinar option will be available for remote attendees.
