Webinar Summary
Generative AI is no longer a “future consideration,” it’s a boardroom priority. For General Counsels, Chief Legal Officers, and legal operations leaders and their teams, the pressure is on to show they are adopting AI in meaningful ways while avoiding the risks that can undermine trust, compliance, and security. This webinar will cut through the hype and lean into the AI paradox: the promise of speed, insight, and efficiency, and a look at how to measure success against the very real pitfalls of bias, over-reliance, and regulatory uncertainty. Our panel of legal leaders will share practical learnings from the front lines — what’s working, what’s not, and what’s still unknown.
Join your peers on Thursday, November 13th at 1:00 p.m. ET to explore:
-
The urgent mandate for legal leaders to be proactive with AI now
-
How to train your team on using the right applications and defining success metrics
-
The promise vs. pitfalls for eDiscovery, information governance, compliance, and security
-
Building a culture of AI adoption that safeguards the core legal mission
