Every day, millions of decisions are made based on information provided by computers and millions of transactions are concluded automatically, by means or with the assistance of computer programs, many of which fall under the category of artificial intelligence, or “AI.” Computer programs can accept payment and dispense products. Computers can also calculate the optimal price, plot the perfect delivery route and predict product demand. AI enables us to automate a wide range of tasks involved in the processes of forming and performing contracts. Contrary to popular belief, such novel transacting practices are easily accommodated by existing legal principles. On one hand, commercial practices are changing; on the other – the fundamental legal principles remain the same. Contract law is technology neutral and oblivious to the manner the parties’ statements came into existence. This principle will not only facilitate innovation and creativity across a wide range of industries but also facilitate the seamless adoption of transaction technologies in the context of financial services, transport, and logistics to name a few. AI will assist in achieving unprecedented economies of scale, cut costs and shift the labour market to value-added services. This seminar will discuss the technology, its practical deployment and the potential doctrinal hurdles that need to be overcome in the Greater Bay Area. It will also examine copyright protection of AI-generated works in mainland China and Hong Kong.
CPD credits are available upon application and subject to accreditation by the Law Society of Hong Kong (currently pending).
