Pia Papke and Jan-Ove Becker discuss the opportunities and risks that the use of artificial intelligence presents for companies. Furthermore, they explain how they always manage to provide consultation that is at the forefront of developments.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is not a phenomenon of today's time alone, but is currently experiencing an unprecedented boom. Since the release of ChatGPT-3 in November 2022, AI tools have made their way into the daily working lives of millions of people - often at their own initiative. The rapid pace of progress presents great opportunities for companies - but also leads to uncertainty. Many companies are addressing uncertainty by implementing usage policies. Here, we comment on a first judicial decision where Littler successfully represented the company.
