A senior lawyer warns the government's increasing use of AI could result in legal challanges. Simpson Grierson partner Nick Chapman says the scene is set for a perfect storm of legal challenges from the increasing use of AI by the public sector - and he warns there is a gap in the law around that use.

Nick specialises in disputes between commercial entities and public decision-makers.
