For the in-house legal team, what are the risks associated with outside counsel’s use of AI? And how should in-house lawyers set their expectations?

Speakers:

  • Mark McCreary, Partner and Chief Artificial Intelligence & Information Security Officer, Fox Rothschild
  • Eric Reed, Senior Counsel, Litigation, TD Bank
  • Helane Stein, EVP and Chief Information Officer, Brixmor Property Group
