Law firm DLA Piper poaches data scientists to capitalize on AI boom

“We will be able to go to our clients and not only tell them what their AI systems need to do to comply with regulations but we can test them and make sure they are in fact doing that,” said Danny Tobey, who chairs DLA Piper’s artificial intelligence practice.

As well as helping large companies and governments develop AI systems or algorithmic models and navigate new laws, DLA Piper said it would build AI tools that can be used by clients for their own legal tasks.
