SUMMARY:WEBINAR: AI - minefield or potential gold mine?
DESCRIPTION:Join Mills & Reeve for this Artificial Intelligence webinar to hear from James Fry and Isabel Teare as they consider some practical examples and the legal considerations that can arise. \nThe use of artificial intelligence across all areas of technology is increasingly significant\, with its application in life sciences offering great promise.

As well as providing the opportunity for you to ask questions. \nDURATION: 1 hour \nSpeaker Profiles: \n \nJames Fry\, Head of Life Sciences and Partner at Mills & Reeve \nJames heads the firm’s fast growing\, multi-disciplinary life sciences practice and focuses exclusively on this sector.
