The Intersection of Law & Code
How do we balance the speed of AI adoption with the rigorous requirements of legal integrity and data sovereignty? As professionals, navigating the "build versus buy" dilemma, and the nuances of co-building with vendors, is no longer just a technical choice; it is a foundational strategy for those operating in high-stakes, confidential environments.
To explore this, we are thrilled to feature insights from experts who have transitioned into, or are currently, both professionals and builders. We welcome those working in legal, risk, and compliance to join us as we discuss the unique perspective that comes from bridging the gap between the courtroom, the boardroom, and the codebase. Let’s break down the trade-offs, from bespoke development to vendor-led co-creation, together.
Hosted in partnership with Ashurst Perkins Coie on August 12th, join us for a focused lunch session featuring practical insights from the intersection of law and engineering. We will be diving into the strategic realities of building versus buying, the imperative of data sovereignty, and how to maintain confidentiality while leveraging generative AI.
