Dentons, the world’s largest global law firm, has published a Global AI Trends report, highlighting key risk considerations with viewpoints from multiple jurisdictions.

On the heels of Dentons' "Laws of AI Traction" report, published in November, the Global AI Trends report contends with the issues relating to how AI is positioned within organizations, the advancement from theory to deployment, and the challenges and opportunities which lie ahead. The report discusses key areas of legal risk including regulatory cohesion, impact on operations, privacy and security, ethical considerations, and algorithmic bias. Editors represent partners from across Dentons – from the UK, Middle East, Europe, US, Canada, Africa, Asia, Latin America and Australia.

“AI continues to be a transformative force globally, and the complexities are only increasing,” said Simon Elliott, Partner and Head of Data Privacy, Cybersecurity and AI for Dentons' UKIME Region. “With immense opportunity but also challenges ahead, business leaders need to feel equipped with the expertise to navigate this evolving landscape."

"63% of business leaders currently do not have a formalized AI roadmap,” commented Giangiacomo Olivi, Partner and Co-Head of Intellectual Property, Data and Technology, for Dentons' Europe Region. "From shifting regulatory landscapes to cost of adoption and impact on workforces – 2025 will be a pivotal year for those with legal and risk mandates across the globe."

“The momentum is palpable and businesses all over the world are making strategic investment decisions driven by AI,” said Kate Barton, Dentons Global CEO. “The Global AI Trends Report reflects the future-focused capabilities of our full-service team - and addresses the challenges which should be front of mind for organizations in 2025."
