9:05 AM FIRESIDE CHAT: RESPONSIBLE INNOVATION – CRAFTING ETHICAL PRO-AI GOVERNANCE POLICIES

2025 will see the rise of generative AI applications being built, purchased and rolled out across all organizations, whether they be used for administrative, creative or legal purposes. As such, legal and compliance teams are entering uncharted territory, grappling with a myriad of complex challenges including legal, compliance, business and ethical risks from transparency of AI decision-making in your own company and your suppliers, potential biases, data privacy concerns, intellectual property rights and the complex nature and absence of clear regulatory frameworks. You will leave this fireside chat empowered to transform from reactive risk managers to strategic advisors in your organization’s AI journey whilst still encouraging experimentation and innovation. 

  • Hear how a range of different organizations are entering the legal and compliance era of generative AI across the USA
  • Explore how legal and compliance teams have developed adaptive AI policies that remain relevant amidst rapid technology advancements and evolving regulatory landscapes both national and international 
  • Implement robust risk assessment methodologies specifically tailored for AI applications, helping identify potential legal pitfalls before they materialize
  • Establish clear guidelines for ethical AI use that align with corporate values and societal expectations, mitigating reputational risks associated with AI misuse
