Enterprise legal departments are currently navigating a
breakdown in AI adoption caused by scattered data, inconsistent
global regulations, and a lack of clear governance for grading
automated workflows. In this episode, Christo Siebrits, Senior
Associate and General Counsel at AbbVie, outlines how a validated
internal large language model environment combined with a
forced-ranking strategy for use cases can mitigate risk while
focusing technical resources on high-value initiatives. The
discussion focuses on practical frameworks for cross-functional
training, aligning with the EU AI Act, and integrating legal
oversight into early-stage technical development to ensure scalable
and compliant innovation.
