# ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

The European Union places the highest demands on the security of AI systems and extends product liability to software. Leupold Legal guides providers and operators of AI safely through the legal system with the highest density of regulation for AI worldwide so that they can make AI the growth engine of their business.

Legal advice for AI system providers​

EU AI Act

Leupold Legal offers tailored legal advice on your compliance with the EU AI Act. This includes advice on the correct classification of your AI systems and, for high-risk AI systems, in particular, legal cover for

  • introducing a quality and risk management system
  • data governance
  • conformity assessments
  • fulfilment of cybersecurity and robustness requirements
  • adherence to documentation and recording obligations
  • enabling human control
  • post-market surveillance.

Product Liability​

Leupold Legal reduces product liability risks for your AI systems by

  • using legal possibilities to provide relief
  • advice on how to close AI security gaps in good time
  • drafting contracts for the distribution of risk within AI supply chains
  • enforcing claims against suppliers.

IP Compliance

Leupold Legal advises you on IP compliance when

  • using open source code in your AI systems
  • using copyrighted works for AI training
  • processing personal data for AI training.

Licensing & Distribution

Leupold Legal creates legally watertight end customer contracts and licence conditions (EULA) for the use of your AI as a Service (AIaaS) or on-premises solutions and ensures that your sales model is GDPR compliant.

Legal advice for operators and users of AI systems

Whether AI as a Service (AIaaS) or AI on Premises: the introduction of AI systems in companies for the processing of their own business processes is always also an IT project and should be planned and carried out as such. However, it places special demands on the procurement and legally compliant use of the AI systems.

Leupold Legal

supports you right from the planning phase of your AI implementation project and

  • draws up the project contract for (AI system adaptation and) AI system implementation,
  • checks AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS) conditions of the service providers shortlisted and, if necessary, draws up alternative individual clauses,
  • ensures AI system availability with AI service level agreements (AI-SLA),
  • advises you on fulfilling your operator obligations under the EU AI Act
  • negotiates all contracts with the AI system provider until conclusion,
  • designs your company guidelines for AI use,
  • also advises you on the legally compliant decommissioning of your AI system.

Legal advice on contract development and customization of AI models

If you have individual requirements for the model of the AI system that you want to use in your company but cannot find an AI system whose model meets your requirements, you can have an AI model developed that is suitable for your purposes or have an available AI model adapted.

In either case, you need a project contract that ensures that you will receive an AI model that meets your requirements within the available time and budget. Leupold Legal will provide you with the necessary support for this as well.
