AI Governance for Lawyers - Building Practical Frameworks for Responsible AI

Introduction

AI governance is becoming a board-level priority. While many organisations have focused on understanding the requirements of the EU AI Act, compliance is only one part of the challenge. Boards, General Counsel and legal teams must also ensure that AI is adopted responsibly, with effective controls for legal, ethical, operational and reputational risk.

Lawyers are increasingly being asked to advise on AI policies, procurement, risk assessments, accountability and board oversight. Whether supporting clients or developing governance frameworks within their own organisations, the key challenge is translating high-level legal and regulatory requirements into processes that work in practice.

This practical new virtual classroom seminar provides a step-by-step framework for developing and implementing an effective AI governance programme. Using realistic case studies, practical examples and adaptable templates, you will learn how to:

• Identify and assess AI-related legal, ethical and operational risks
• Develop proportionate AI governance policies and controls
• Support AI procurement and supplier due diligence
• Establish clear accountability and oversight structures
• Assess and document AI risks for senior management and boards
• Develop effective reporting and escalation processes
• Ensure governance frameworks remain adaptable as regulation and AI technologies evolve

Register today to equip yourself with practical tools and strategies to move beyond AI compliance and establish governance that supports responsible, controlled and commercially effective AI adoption.
