GDPR, IT&AI Law

AI Law

Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents one of the key technological innovations of our time, significantly impacting business relations, social interactions, human rights, and freedoms. With the increasing development of AI technologies, there is a need for developing systemic legal frameworks to regulate this field. SLC provides comprehensive services to business entities in the domain of AI law, focusing on proper implementation, use, and regulation of artificial intelligence, which is particularly important from the perspective of privacy protection, ethical use of technology, transparency, accountability, and more.

The European Union has taken proactive steps towards creating a unified regulatory framework for artificial intelligence (AI) through the recently adopted AI Act, which represents the first attempt to set clear boundaries and standards for the development and application of AI technologies, aiming to protect citizens and foster innovation within the single EU market. Additionally, the Digital Services Act also has significant implications for business entities using AI technologies and providing digital services in the EU, as well as in countries aspiring to EU membership, such as Montenegro.

In this regard, SLC provides strategic advice and support in implementing these and other relevant regulations, ensuring that our clients' businesses are fully compliant with all legal regulations. Some of our services include:

  • Legal support in AI development: At SLC, we offer consulting services on the legal aspects of AI development, from concept to implementation, focusing on innovative, ethical, and legally sustainable practices.
  • Legal protection: At SLC, we provide services to protect our clients' interests in legal matters arising from the application of AI.

The mentioned AI Act classifies AI systems based on the level of risk they pose to society and individuals, from minimal to unacceptable risk, with different regulatory requirements applied to each category. Accordingly, the SLC team is here to provide expert assistance in implementing and aligning your business with these regulatory requirements. We offer support in risk identification, compliance assessment of your AI system, and strategy development for meeting the requirements of the Act. Contact us to help you successfully adapt to the new standards and seamlessly take advantage of the opportunities brought by AI technology.
