Artificial intelligence (AI) has ceased to be a technological experiment and has become part of the daily lives of legal professionals. From case law research to contract analysis, AI-based tools have been integrated into law firms' work, changing the way information is organized and advice is delivered. But its incorporation forces us to rethink what it means today to practice law with rigor, transparency, and efficiency. The Madrid Bar Association has developed an ICAM Guide to Good Practices for the Use of Artificial Intelligence in the Legal Profession, which we summarize in this article and which can help us make responsible use of artificial intelligence in the legal field. 1. Understand before applying The first mistake is to delegate tasks to AI without knowing how it works. Before introducing any tool, it's important to understand what it does, what its limitations are, and in what scenarios it truly adds value. Technological literacy becomes an essential skill for the modern lawyer: knowing what biases a model can carry, how its results are trained, and what risks its use entails. 2. Identify appropriate tasks Not everything can or should be automated. AI has already proven useful in functions such as document classification or legal text summaries. However, other activities—for example, interpreting regulations or defining a procedural strategy—require human judgment and should not be outsourced to an algorithm. The golden rule: Use technology to gain agility, without compromising the quality of advice or client confidentiality. 3. Building a Hybrid Professional Culture Today's lawyer needs to master both legal and technological language. This involves training teams, establishing usage protocols, and fostering a culture where AI is seen as a support, not a substitute. It's about combining legal precision with technical knowledge to strengthen customer confidence. 4. Establish internal governance Integrating AI into a firm requires defining responsibilities and controls. What tools are authorized? Who audits your results? How is the traceability of information guaranteed? Answering these questions is not a bureaucratic procedure, but rather a measure of professional and reputational protection. A mistake in this area not only creates legal risks, it can also seriously affect the firm's credibility. 5. Complying with the new regulatory framework The European Regulation on Artificial Intelligence (AI Act) marks a turning point. Establish risk categories, require transparency, and document decisions made using AI systems. For law firms, this means auditing tools, assessing risks, and assuming that responsible technology management is part of professional due diligence. 6. Expanding Client Advice The impact of AI is not only reflected in internal practices: it also changes what clients demand. Companies across all sectors use it in recruitment, staff selection, and data management processes. The lawyer must translate technological risks into legal risks and ensure that solutions are explainable and auditable. This function goes beyond the norm: it is about preserving trust and reputation. 7. Exercise ethical judgment Speed ​​cannot sacrifice rigor. Every decision about the use of AI must be documented and communicated honestly. Professional ethics, in this context, are demonstrated both in the arguments presented and in the way technological tools are used.   Artificial intelligence is no longer a "possible future," but a reality in the workplace. Its responsible use requires knowledge, prudence and strategic vision. More than a threat, it's an opportunity: to modernize legal practice without abandoning the values ​​that have always defined the profession. Mabel Klimt, managing partner.

Madrid, March 7, 2025.- ELZABURU, a firm specializing in industrial and intellectual property, has been awarded the Seal of Good Practices in Equality by the Illustrious Bar Association of Madrid (ICAM). The award was presented during a gala held within the framework of the XII Summit of Women Jurists and was collected by Mabel Klimt, Managing Partner of Elzaburu; Isabel Gómez Patón, Head of HR; Elisa Prieto, Head of Knowledge Management and Guiomar González, Head of Marketing and Communication. The Seals of Good Practices in Equality were created in 2019 by the Equality Commission of the ICAM and “seek to make visible and reward those initiatives that promote a more equitable environment in the practice of law”. For Mabel Klimt, “it is an honor to receive this distinction that recognizes the advances of our firm in favor of equality; Currently, at Elzaburu, four of the firm's five corporate areas are led by a female professional and more than 30% of the partners are women. And we are going to continue moving forward in this direction so that talent and effort are the determining factors for professional growth, regardless of gender."

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been transforming our lives for decades through automation and mechanization processes. From personalized ads to algorithms on platforms like Netflix, this technology is already part of our daily lives. However, generative AI has represented a paradigm shift by being able to create content on its own, generating a revolution in the creative and cultural industries, especially in the audiovisual sector. The Impact of Generative AI on Cinema Cinema, as an industry based on intellectual property, faces significant challenges in the face of generative AI that experts have not yet been able to solve. Some argue that creations using this technology are not protectable, as regulations require human intervention in order for intellectual property to be protected. While others argue that the author is the one who provides the prompter. However, under current regulations, the person who formulates an idea is not considered its author, so this debate about authorship remains open and has profound implications for the future of the industry. Adaptation and Response of Film Professionals to Artificial Intelligence Faced with uncertainty, film professionals have opted for two main paths: Restriction and control: Some prefer to limit the use of generative AI until clearer regulatory frameworks are established. Experimentation and change: Others see AI as an opportunity to push the boundaries of creativity and explore new forms of production. Generative AI, a global phenomenon The recent entry into force of the European Regulation on Artificial Intelligence raises questions about how this issue is regulated in other key markets such as the United States, the mecca of cinema. Although the differences are minor, the EU focuses on protecting privacy and preventing intrusion, reflecting a shared concern at a global level. Cinema, as an industry with an international vocation, cannot ignore the impact of generative AI. Major platforms are already promoting local productions with global reach, demonstrating that these technologies have the potential to transform current dynamics. The democratization of audiovisual creation One of the most promising aspects of generative AI is its ability to democratize content creation. Now, individual creators can also access advanced tools, reducing the technical and financial barriers that previously limited quality production. Technical professionals are exploring these tools in pre- and post-production, achieving surprising results. However, this raises new questions about intellectual property rights in an environment where human-machine collaboration redefines the boundaries of creativity. Legal aspects of generative AI in entertainment The relationship between generative AI and intellectual property is especially delicate in the audiovisual sector. For example, some actors are including clauses in their contracts to prohibit the use of their image in AI training or the generation of content without their authorization. In this regard, many platforms are already incorporating restrictions into their contracts, showing a cautious stance while legislation evolves. Towards a regulated and sustainable future for Generative AI The development of a balanced regulatory framework will be key to ensuring the sustainability of the audiovisual sector. Regulation that takes into account the interests of creators, companies and viewers, allowing this technological revolution to boost creativity without jeopardizing the economic viability of the industry. The combination of human talent and generative AI tools can lead to an unprecedented explosion of creativity, provided that legal and ethical challenges are addressed responsibly.
