‘The Dentons team were quick to wade into the AI space and delivered some high-quality training sessions early on. They have guided us on our internal generative AI strategy, including advising on key risks and mitigations, the regulatory landscape, onboarding AI suppliers and our internal strategy and guidelines. They have demonstrated deep knowledge of available generative AI tools and have made pragmatic suggestions for how to mitigate risk whilst continuing to explore this space.’
‘Kuan Hon is clearly very knowledgeable about all things AI and developments in the space - both on a regulatory level but also on a technical level. This is hugely appreciated and she has been able to highlight and give examples of some of the common pitfalls with generative AI.'
