THE AGE OF FRANCIS AND WELBY

Francis, the political Pope

Welby, the political Archbishop

In the Age of Francis and Welby,

Long years of peace taken for granted,

plunged Europe into a war before their very eyes

Because of the cobweb-filled altars

And dusty holy books in their Cathedrals of Etcetera.

DLA Piper: Autonomous vehicles - where AI intersects with public safety

Gareth Stokes, Partner at international law firm DLA Piper reacts to news on experts fearing the UK will be ‘left behind’ in the race to develop self-driving cars:

“Autonomous Vehicles are one of the clearest examples of where AI intersects with public safety. There are tremendous opportunities for UK innovators in the AV space, and there are cutting edge systems being developed here. A clear, safety-focussed regulatory framework, together with solid protections around cybersecurity, data, privacy and intellectual property issues will provide the legal certainty that businesses need to take investment in this important technology to the next level”.
