Artificial Intelligence (AI)

By Buju, Stanciu & Asociații

In what situations can an AI lawyer help you?

Artificial intelligence is no longer an abstract concept reserved for technology companies. Today, AI is used in business, marketing, human resources, healthcare, finance and even in legal proceedings. This rapid development brings with it genuine legal risks: who is liable for the decisions of an AI system, how is data protected, what happens when an algorithm causes harm or is used in breach of the law?

Against this background, the role of an AI lawyer becomes essential. We are not talking about a robot lawyer, but about a lawyer specialising in the legal aspects of artificial intelligence, automation, data and emerging technologies.

At Buju, Stanciu & Asociatii, we have advised companies that use AI in their internal processes, in digital products, in blockchain projects and in crypto ecosystems, where the interaction between technology and the law is increasingly complex. The experience we have gained allows us to offer a pragmatic approach, tailored to today's realities.

What exactly is an AI lawyer?

An AI lawyer is a lawyer with expertise in technology law, who understands how artificial intelligence systems work and the legal implications of using them. They do not develop algorithms, but they know how those algorithms are used, what risks they generate and what legal obligations arise for companies or individuals.

The work of an AI lawyer includes:

  • assessing whether AI systems comply with the legislation in force;
  • drafting and reviewing contracts involving AI;
  • managing risks relating to data, automation and algorithmic decision-making;
  • representation in disputes arising from the use of technology.

1. The use of AI in business and internal processes

More and more companies are using AI for:

  • recruitment;
  • financial analysis;
  • automated decision-making;
  • client assessment;
  • optimising internal processes.

In these situations, risks arise in relation to discrimination, lack of transparency or unjustified automated decisions. An AI lawyer can assess whether these systems comply with employment legislation, consumer protection rules and the European rules on artificial intelligence.

2. Data protection and the use of AI

AI operates on the basis of data. That data is often personal or sensitive. Using it without a proper legal framework can lead to significant penalties.

An AI lawyer can help you with:

  • legal analysis of the data sets used;
  • GDPR compliance;
  • drafting privacy policies;
  • allocating responsibilities between the parties.

At Buju, Stanciu & Asociatii, we have advised fintech and crypto companies that use AI to analyse user behaviour, where data protection is critical.

3. Contracts involving artificial intelligence

Standard contracts are not always sufficient where AI systems are involved. Questions arise such as:

  • who is liable if the AI gets it wrong?
  • who owns the output generated by the AI?
  • how is liability limited?

An AI lawyer drafts and reviews:

  • AI development contracts;
  • SaaS contracts;
  • licensing agreements;
  • liability and limitation clauses.

Experience in complex commercial contracts is essential to this type of legal assistance.

One of the most sensitive issues is liability for decisions taken by an AI system. At present, the law does not recognise AI as a subject of law, which means that liability always rests with a natural or legal person.

An AI lawyer can analyse:

  • who is responsible: the developer, the user or the supplier;
  • whether there is fault or negligence;
  • what type of liability applies: civil, contractual or even criminal.

This analysis is extremely important in fields such as finance, healthcare or transport.

5. AI in the field of cryptocurrencies and blockchain

AI is increasingly used in crypto ecosystems for:

  • fraud detection;
  • transaction analysis;
  • automated trading;
  • risk assessment.

These applications raise specific legal issues, particularly where decisions are automated and may give rise to financial losses.

At Buju, Stanciu & Asociatii, we have advised clients on projects combining AI, blockchain and cryptocurrencies, where the legal analysis must take into account commercial law as well as financial and criminal regulations.

6. Disputes arising from the use of AI

Legal disputes involving AI are on the rise. They may arise between:

  • companies and clients;
  • business partners;
  • software developers and users.

An AI lawyer can represent clients in:

  • commercial litigation;
  • contractual disputes;
  • intellectual property disputes;
  • cases of fraud or misuse of technology.

Handling such disputes calls for an understanding of both the legal and the technical aspects.

7. Compliance with the new European regulations

The European Union has introduced strict rules on the use of AI, including through the forthcoming AI Act. Companies using AI must adapt quickly in order to avoid penalties.

An AI lawyer assists with:

  • assessing the risk posed by AI systems;
  • classifying those systems;
  • implementing compliance measures;
  • preparing the requisite legal documentation.

8. Prevention, not merely reaction

A key aspect of an AI lawyer's work is prevention. Rather than stepping in once a dispute has arisen, the lawyer helps with:

  • identifying risks early;
  • adapting internal processes;
  • training teams;
  • building a sound legal framework.

This approach is favoured by companies seeking to scale responsibly and sustainably.

The experience of Buju, Stanciu & Asociatii

Buju, Stanciu & Asociatii combines classic experience in commercial and criminal law with an understanding of new technologies. We have advised clients in:

  • technology;
  • fintech;
  • crypto and blockchain;
  • e-commerce;
  • digital services.

This combination allows us to provide realistic advice, tailored to today's challenges, without needless theory or rigid solutions.

Conclusion

Artificial intelligence brings major opportunities, but also real legal risks. Without a proper legal framework, those risks can prove costly.

An AI lawyer is the partner who helps you understand the law, protect your business and use technology responsibly and safely. From contracts and compliance through to litigation and complex projects, specialist legal assistance is becoming a necessity rather than a luxury.

At Buju, Stanciu & Asociatii, we provide precisely this kind of assistance, grounded in practical experience, technological understanding and a clear, results-driven approach.
