Utilising Generative AI in Businesses: Risks and Best Practices

The rise in popularity of generative artificial intelligence (‘generative AI’) has ignited the discussion on whether junior employees can be replaced by it. Some have gone to the extent of questioning whether professionals, such as lawyers, can also be replaced by generative AI. Is it wise to replace junior employees or lawyers with generative AI? What factors should be considered before deploying generative AI tools in your business? To consider these questions, we first need to understand the basic workings of generative AI and what it can offer. Fundamentally, AI is intelligence that is not biological. The general understanding is that machines will be ascribed with this intelligence. These machines have the ability to interpret, learn from and process external data in a way that is similar to the capabilities of the human mind. Generative AI is a type of AI program that generates content from a data set. It uses deep learning, a type of machine learning system that behaves like a neural network to simulate the functions of a human brain. In other words, it can mimic human intelligence by exhibiting analytical skills to create new content. Not only can generative AI be utilised in chatbot programs to create text, but it can also be used in programs that can create images, sound or videos. This article will consider two major forms of generative AI, in the context of risks to businesses: chatbots using generative pre-trained transformer technology programs; and image generating programs.

Rethinking the Path to Digital Platform Regulation in Brazil: a Critical Appraisal of DMA-inspired Bill 2.768/22

Inspired by other initiatives of ex ante regulation in digital markets, the Brazilian Bill 2.768/22 targets digital service providers that control essential access to certain services. If the bill is approved by Congress, it will cover various digital platforms, such as social networks, messaging services and search engines, imposing obligations related to transparency, fair service provision, data handling and access for professional users. Enforcement mechanisms include fines, operational restrictions and the creation of the Digital Platforms Oversight Fund to support regulatory activities. This article critically examines Bill 2.768/22, comparing it to the European Union Digital Markets Act and similar statutory provisions from other jurisdictions, most notably Article 19a of the German Competition Act and the United Kingdom's recently approved Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act. The article highlights shortcomings of the Brazilian Bill under discussion that would need to be addressed in order to avoid potential negative impacts in innovation and other distortions in Brazilian digital markets.

It also looks at mediation rules and proceedings in common law jurisdictions, such as Hong Kong, Singapore, and the United States.
