Humanoid robots from Oslo-based @1x_tech 1X are to be tested in homes. At this stage, they will need remote human support to assist. Excellent legal advice necessary: tcrn.ch/4iVgVQa

I am delighted to have been asked to speak at Paris Arbitration Week 7-11 April on 'Data Disputes: What is the #Data Really Worth?' This topic is central to debates around #AI, #facialrecognition, data protection, #hacking and so much more. Roll on Paris!
The cryptocurrency market is currently navigating turbulent waters, with Bitcoin's value dipping below the $90,000 threshold.

A warning to brands! Christian Dior has experienced the awkwardness of a fake Dior #crypto meme coin being advertised on its Instagram account. Data protection must exist in every part of a business – a brand is only as strong as the weakest link. bit.ly/4i7vbFf
At the Paris #AISummit, J D Vance said that the EU is committed to too much #AI #regulation. Content moderation is one of Vance's biggest concerns whereas the UK is concerned about 'pretty different' language to the first AI Safety summit in 2023.

Steve Yun at @ton_blockchain is launching a $100m VC fund to facilitate #DeFi trading on its #blockchain. Closely aligned with @telegram, with its 900m users, Yun's vision: "Through leveraging the Telegram media platform, we can put #DeFi in every pocket."

Could #AI become sentient, capable of experiencing pain? This is a topic of concern to AI practitioners and thinkers. It is certainly true that AI will increasingly support decision-making affecting #ethical outcomes and #law in the real world.

The @deepseek_ai launch has created disquiet in @OpenAI around #distillation - a way of transferring the learning made by existing #AI software. @Microsoft has invested $13bn in OpenAI so will be keen to protect its investment. bbc.in/3CE14px
A lawsuit in the US claims that LinkedIn Premium users have had their private messages shared with other companies to train AI models. It is said that LinkedIn added a privacy setting that allowed user data to be shared without clients opting in.

A year of contrasts! Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the last year to define the law in #data, #crypto and #blockchain. Meanwhile we continue our fight for the survivors of abuse by #AlFayed. Viva 2025!
Thank you to our incredible clients, industry colleagues and the business and global community who have helped us in so many ways. Wishing you a peaceful and happy festive season.
December has already shown strong sales for #NFTs. Ethereum recorded $92m in NFT sales just last week – sales have been buoyed by the new releases of #PudgyPenguins and #CryptoPunks, demonstrating huge enthusiasm for digital assets. Where next?

Ronnie Gibbons was captain of the first professional women’s team in England.
Now, she tells The Athletic how she was twice trapped in a room above Harrods in 2000-01 as Fulham’s owner, Mohamed Al Fayed, tried to “forcefully” kiss her & then groped her.
This is Ronnie's story.
