Overview (Program Summary)
Co-sponsored with the Compliance & Ethics Network
As companies rapidly deploy AI tools across HR, marketing, operations, and customer-facing functions, the plaintiff’s bar is already building the next generation of corporate liability claims. The ability to anticipate these risks is critical. This session reframes AI risk through a litigation and enforcement lens, highlighting where claims are emerging today and where exposure is likely to expand next. Attendees will gain practical insight into how traditional legal theories are being repurposed for AI-driven disputes and how in-house teams can implement realistic safeguards without building a full-scale AI compliance program.
Key Takeaways
- Where plaintiffs are already filing and threatening AI-related claims, including employment discrimination, consumer protection, privacy, and false advertising
- The highest-risk business uses of AI today for small and mid-sized legal departments, including hiring tools, automated customer service, marketing content generation, and vendor platforms
- How third-party AI vendors create hidden liability through data use, indemnification gaps, and discovery obligations
- What internal documentation, policies, and governance gaps most often create downstream litigation exposure
- Practical risk-mitigation steps that small legal teams can implement immediately without significant budget or headcount increases
