The AI Legal Risk Spotting Checklist
Checklist
A checklist for spotting the legal risks around an AI system that sit outside data protection: intellectual property, discrimination, consumer protection and liability.
Intellectual property and data
- Has training data provenance and licensing been checked?
- Could outputs infringe copyright or trade secrets?
- Are database rights relevant to the data used?
Discrimination and fairness
- Could the system disadvantage a protected group?
- Has non-discrimination and equality law been considered, not only privacy law?
- Is there a credit, lending, housing, employment or insurance angle?
Consumer protection and liability
- Could the system's outputs be read as a claim or advice?
- Is there a product liability or professional negligence angle?
- Are sector-specific or procurement rules relevant here?
