AI creates value, but it also creates legal risks. The MME Questionnaire helps to identify these systematically during due diligence - for buyers and companies alike.

The use of artificial intelligence is a value driver for technology companies. However, the use of AI is also associated with legal risks. MME has developed a questionnaire (MME Questionnaire for AI-focused Due Diligence Process) to help buyers systematically recognize these risks during due diligence.

The following areas need to be analyzed:

  • Regulatory compliance and AI governance
  • Data protection and Privacy
  • Cybersecurity and Technology Resilience
  • Ethics and Social Responsibility Law
  • Corporate law and Technology Transactions
  • Intellectual property (IP) and Copyright law
  • Contract Law
  • AI-related Litigation and Dispute Resolution
  • Civil Liability and Insurance
  • Criminal Law and Crime Prevention
  • Labor and Employment Law and HR processes
  • Administrative Law (AI regulation) and Sector-Specific Regulations
  • Environmental Law and Sustainability

We have developed Evidence Requests for each area in the MME Questionnaire so that an informed assessment can be made based on the documents requested. With our experts from the Data Law team specializing in AI issues, we are able to quickly and accurately assess the legal risks and maturity of AI governance.

The MME AI Due Diligence Questionnaire is also an effective tool for screening our clients and identifying legal and regulatory AI risks (AI Risk and GAP Analysis).
