Society is on the verge of a digital transformation. As a naturally data-driven industry, digitization and artificial intelligence have the potential to revolutionize the natural resources sector with the promise of enhanced decision-making and experiences.

Autonomous vehicles, environmental monitoring techniques or the digitization of plant processes are but a few ways the power of artificial intelligence can be leveraged for improved corporate performance and efficiencies. While the digital transformation brings great promise, it also presents many unknowns - especially in the legal landscape.

This presentation will discuss the emerging legal issues relating to the digital transformation and the application of artificial intelligence, including transparent decision making, privacy, data security, intellectual property, liability and risk management considerations. It will also address the fear that an unregulated environment could lead to a loss of human supervisory control and, in turn, unfortunate outcomes.
