In this member insight, Simon Martin, a Partner at Hudson Gavin Martin examines how Generative AI offers transformative potential for organisations, but requires careful consideration of key legal and commercial risks before implementation. The firm identifies three critical areas demanding attention: intellectual property rights (including training data and output ownership), data privacy compliance (especially regarding vendor data usage), and the implications of vendors' ability to change terms of service. The team at HGM helps businesses navigate these complex considerations to ensure their AI adoption journey is both innovative and legally sound.

The latest Digital Health Association (DHA) media release is in response to RNZ's release from the Union claiming a further $100m cuts to Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora Data and Digital. Latest Health New Zealand cuts will 'undermine healthcare delivery for years to come' "The Digital Health Association is alarmed to hear of further cuts of $100 million from Health New Zealand’s data and digital funding, saying it could undermine healthcare delivery in New Zealand for years to come. The Association is responding to claims that Health New Zealand is set to lose even more money from its already decimated data and digital fund. Chief executive, Ryl Jensen, says the latest reported cuts come on top of the $380 million of funding that was ‘re-prioritised’ away from data and digital in Budget 2024. “That’s nearly half a billion dollars slashed from a fund that’s supposed to leverage New Zealand’s innovative digital technology sector and take our health sector into the 21st century,” Jensen said.
