The general counsel's role is being rewritten. As AI adoption accelerates across the enterprise, the CLO is no longer just the last line of defense. Increasingly, they're the ones setting the terms for how AI gets used at all. In this webinar, learn how to build an AI governance function within the legal department, from board and risk committee reporting to escalation rights when something goes wrong. We'll cover what a real AI policy and AI inventory look like in practice, how to design an approved-use framework people actually follow, and how to lead cross-functionally with IT, security, compliance, HR, procurement, privacy, and finance, because AI governance only works if it's not legal's problem alone. This is the session for CLOs and GCs ready to move from gatekeeper to architect.
