Webinar: Cyber attacks AI and liability: who pays when things go wrong?

A cyber-attack disrupts your operations. An AI tool makes a costly mistake. Customer data is compromised. The question is no longer if these events will happen, but what follows when they do.

As cyber incidents become more frequent, costly and complex, particularly where AI systems are involved, businesses face increasing uncertainty over who is ultimately responsible when things go wrong.

Liz Mulley and Amy-Rose Hayden explored the evolving liability landscape surrounding cyber-attacks, data breaches and AI-related failures. This webinar examined the key legal, regulatory and contractual issues organisations need to consider, while providing practical guidance on managing risk before a crisis occurs.

Topics include:

  • Individual accountability for directors and officers

  • Liability following a cyber-attack or data breach

  • The impact of AI on risk allocation and accountability

  • Regulatory investigations and enforcement action

  • Contractual protections, indemnities and insurance considerations

  • Lessons learned from recent incidents and disputes

This session will help you understand where liability may arise and how to better protect your organisation when the unexpected happens.
