Overview

Were tensions between your Legal, Compliance, and Engineering departments’ needs slowing down your adoption of Generative AI? You weren’t alone.

Leveraging generative-AI-based technologies was not just a concern for delivery teams; it often introduced new tensions between departments.

The fundamental issue was wanting to take advantage of data while keeping it secure. Thankfully, there were effective ways to address this challenge while respecting each department’s constraints, allowing companies to benefit from successful GenAI adoption.

In this talk, we covered:

Case Study: SEP’s own experiences with adopting GenAI were shared as a practical example of responsibly navigating risks and opportunities

Responsible Implementation: Methods for introducing GenAI within a company in a responsible manner that considered all stakeholders

Technology Management: Strategies for maintaining control over data while still being proactive in leveraging GenAI for business

Interdepartmental Coordination: Ways to meet the diverse requirements of legal, regulatory, compliance, and engineering departments to ensure a unified approach to GenAI adoption
