AI is quickly becoming embedded in everyday business tools—often faster than legal teams can set formal guardrails. As a result, General Counsel and senior legal leaders are being pulled into real‑time conversations about risk, governance, and value creation, frequently without clear precedents.
This ACC Ontario Data/Tech Roundtable is an interactive, peer‑driven working session, not a traditional presentation. The session will begin with a brief demonstration of agentic AI workflows, including Microsoft Copilot Agentic Workflows and Gemini Agents, to ground the discussion in how these tools are actually being deployed across the enterprise—along with the associated data governance and security considerations legal teams are being asked to address.
Facilitated by Epiq, the discussion will then shift to candid, peer‑led conversation designed to surface real experiences from legal leaders navigating AI in practice—what’s being tested, what’s raising concern, and where legal teams are struggling to keep pace with business adoption.
Participants will actively engage in discussion around:
- How AI is actually showing up inside legal teams and adjacent business functions
- What “responsible use” looks like when AI tools are already embedded in workflows
- How governance, privacy, and regulatory issues are being handled in reality
- How legal leaders are positioning themselves in enterprise‑wide AI conversations
Through facilitated prompts and small‑group discussion, participants will share lessons learned, compare approaches, and pressure‑test assumptions with peers across industries.
