Can Legal Teams Keep Up with AI Advancements?

Episode notes

AI is moving faster than the rules designed to govern it - and legal teams are now on the critical path. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast , Olivia Fleming, Chief Legal Officer at Edgewood Management, and Erika Schenk, General Counsel and EVP of Compliance at World Wide Technology, unpack how enterprise AI is reshaping the legal function - from gatekeeper to growth enabler. They break down why the biggest risk in AI isn’t black-box models or hallucinations - it’s deploying tools no one fully understands. From fragmented data estates and fast-moving regulations to cross-border gray zones and emerging governance models, this conversation gets practical about what legal leaders actually need to know to help AI scale responsibly. The takeaway is clear: when legal is involved early, organizations move faster - not slower. The enterprises winning with AI are building trust, governance, and accountability into the stack from day one. If you’re rolling out AI at scale, navigating regulatory uncertainty, or trying to move fast without breaking things, this episode is required listening.
