AIRecht presents ECP AIIA in Silicon Valley
On 23 August 2019, Mauritz Kop LL.M. had the honour to present the ECP AI Impact Assessment to front-running companies in Silicon Valley, in the amazing San Francisco Bay Area. AI should be a force for good and our Dutch risk-management tool can help with that. The AIIA is a first-of-its-kind guide for the development and implementation of artificial intelligence and includes 2 things: a practical Checklist from a legal, technical and ethical point of view (in line with the EU Trustworthy AI paradigm) and a concrete Code of Conduct for data scientists. On top of that, our AIRecht managing partner introduced the AIIA at Stanford University, in beautiful Palo Alto.
Stanford University Campus
Stanford University has a stunning campus. It offers exuberant nature, nice temperature and magnificent architecture. Innovation is in the air. During the graduation ceremony of a post-doctoral intellectual property course at Stanford Law School, Mauritz officially handed over an English hardcopy of the ECP AI Impact Assessment to Professor Siegfried Fina and Professor Roland Vogl, Program Directors at SLS. The Program focusses on ‘'Overview on U.S. IP Law’ with specific attention to high-tech IP issues, such as copyrights, trade secrets, patents, trademarks, licensing and venture capital. A wonderful place for learning, discovery, innovation, expression and discourse, at the highest academic level imaginable.
Transatlantic bridges
It was an incredibly inspiring visit to Silicon Valley. We have seen it with our own eyes now: the Bay Area truly is the innovation hub of the world, together with Massachusetts (Boston, Harvard, MIT). It offers excellent opportunities for tech start-ups to work together and brainstorm with the best qualified experts, and create partnerships with professionals in myriad industrial sectors and disciplines. We hope to be back soon to further strengthen EU-USA relationships, construct new partnerships, exchange talent and remove barriers to trade and collaboration across the Atlantic.
