Abdulwahab B. Adesanya founded Adesanya AI Advisory™ after more than fifteen years focused on technology, intellectual property, and commercial law, following earlier experience in-house at a technology company. The practice is informed by an LL.M. in Intellectual Property and IT Law from University College Dublin, and by a sustained focus on how products, contracts, data, and regulatory obligations interact in live operating environments.
That perspective is the point. The work is not about broad generalities. It is about understanding how technology behaves, where responsibility actually attaches, and how to give businesses advice that holds up once the product is in market and the pressure is real.
The EU AI Act does not only follow incorporation. It follows output, access, and use (Article 2, EU AI Act). A London company whose assistant serves EU users is caught. A US provider whose model output lands in the Union is caught. Being outside the Union is an assumption, and assumptions are worth testing.
