Carole Piovesan, managing partner at INQ Law and a leading voice on AI governance and privacy, unpacks the legal profession’s response to the accelerating influence of artificial intelligence, the shifting regulatory landscape and the practical challenges of integrating emerging technologies into legal practice. She discusses the growing reliance on privacy law as a proxy for AI regulation, the evolving concept of responsible AI, and how law firms must rethink their business models and billing structures. From litigation and cross-border compliance to legal education and firm operations, the conversation explores how legal teams can navigate risk, maintain professional standards and adapt to a future increasingly shaped by automation and data.
