Artificial intelligence (AI) in the company

The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) opens up enormous opportunities for companies, for example through more efficient processes, personalized customer experiences or innovative business models. However, the use of AI in companies also brings with it legal, ethical and organizational challenges that need to be carefully addressed. On this topic page, we give you an overview of the most important aspects that you should consider when integrating AI into your company.

Basics for the legally compliant use of AI

The legal requirements for AI in companies are developing rapidly. The Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) in particular is having a huge impact on the use of AI in companies. It specifies the risks that AI systems may entail and the obligations that companies must fulfill.

In addition to new regulations such as the AI Act, existing regulations such as the GDPR are also important. A breach of data protection can have serious consequences, especially for AI projects in companies that use large amounts of data.

Data protection and the use of training data

AI in companies thrives on data. But where can this data come from and how can companies ensure that they act in compliance with data protection regulations? The legal framework provides clear guidelines on when data must be anonymized or pseudonymized and which consents must be obtained. Errors in this area can be costly and affect the trust of customers and partners.

Liability and risk management

What happens if an AI makes the wrong decision? Whether in the automation of processes or in direct customer contact: Mistakes made by the technology quickly raise liability issues. Who is responsible – the software manufacturer, the company or even the AI itself? These questions are central when you introduce AI in your company.

AI and labor law

The introduction of AI in companies is influencing the world of work. Automated processes for job applications or performance evaluations raise employment law issues. How do you ensure that your AI is non-discriminatory? What co-determination rights does the works council have when introducing new technologies?

Intellectual property and AI

An often overlooked issue with AI in companies is the protection of intellectual property. Who owns the rights to an AI tool or the outputs of the AI? Companies should clarify at an early stage what rights they have to the technologies used and their results.

Sustainability and ethics in AI

In addition to legal requirements, the question of how AI can be used sustainably and ethically in companies is becoming increasingly relevant. Transparency, fairness and the reduction of the ecological footprint through optimized processes offer not only regulatory but also long-term competitive advantages.
