She leads editorial strategy focused on AI governance, legal operations, and board-level risk, and convenes forward-leaning legal leaders through interviews, events, and industry analysis. In this episode… Controlled AI deployment is one of the most pressing challenges legal and business leaders face right now. New AI tools are often adopted quickly without the full understanding of how they're being used, where data goes, and who's accountable for the outcomes. Some teams explore AI without direction or intention. Others prescribe it with guardrails, defining who can use it and how. The gap between those two approaches is where risk lives. So, how can organizations deploy and use AI without losing control? Legal operations teams are often accountable for how AI is used in practice. They understand the regulatory landscape and manage contracts and deadlines. They're often involved in operations across finance, HR, sales, and other business functions, so they know how those processes work and why they were built that way.
