Pressure is rising for companies to use AI to gain a competitive advantage (or to not fall behind). AI promises tremendous innovation and productivity gains, but new regulations, copyright and IP issues, ethical use concerns, and AI safety risks can feel overwhelming. This session will explore the creation of a comprehensive, effective, and “doable” AI Governance program through a combination of AI policies and processes. Learn to navigate both current and future risks and requirements, including evolving regulations, copyright and IP issues, and the ethical and safe use of AI. A smart AI Governance program enables both compliance and risk reduction and faster deployment.

With increasing data volumes, conflicting privacy requirements, remote work, and AI governance, traditional records policies and schedules fall short of modern needs and expectations. More and more, companies are adopting modern, compliant, and easier-to-execute schedules. This session will explore strategies for meeting retention and privacy demands, aligning schedules with AI governance, gaining cross-functional agreement, ensuring employee compliance, and automating retention processes.

With increased frequency, companies – their attorneys included – employ artificial intelligence (AI) to conduct their day-to-day work, and many are ignorant to the intellectual property (IP) issues this use creates. This three-part program will get in-house counsel up to speed on key IP issues through 1) a discussion from subject matter experts, 2) a rousing Q&A on the pros and cons of using AI to draft agreements or conduct legal research, and 3) an interactive workshop on AI legal issues, including work product ownership, AI washing, IP protection for AI output, and model clauses.

In the last year, 53 percent of companies have experienced a third-party data breach, and global regulatory bodies are increasingly incorporating data breaches into environmental, social, and governance ratings and reporting guidelines. As data breaches persist as a cost and risk of business, companies and their legal teams must improve how they manage and respond when a breach occurs. This interactive session will simulate some of the recent developments within breach response and proactive measures in-house counsel can take to mitigate risks.

Today’s corporate law department has four main areas of strategic focus: delivering effective legal advice, optimizing efficiency, protecting the business from risk, and enabling the broader business’ goals. However, most department metrics are limited to cost and time data. Until this changes, the legal department is stuck as a cost center rather than a strategic leader. This session will help bridge the gap between legal department goals and metrics that showcase the legal department as a source of competitive advantage. After an exploration of different metrics that demonstrate the value of the law department, attendees will walk through a case study of how to present these metrics to leadership, explaining what data was selected, how it was presented, and the story it is meant to tell.
