<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe day moves from that practical foundation into the questions lawyers now face across business practice: how AI changes legal work, what it requires of board oversight and where lawyers should draw ethical lines as the tools continue to evolve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Griffin, whose research focuses on corporate governance and technology policy, points to boards as one clear example. He said directors cannot stop at approving a well-crafted AI policy. They need reporting mechanisms that surface AI-related risks, and they need to understand how their own use of AI, such as summarizing board materials, affects confidentiality and how much they should rely on the output. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From there, the program turns to data security and incident response, along with a shorter session on prediction markets and nonpublic information, a newer issue business lawyers are beginning to encounter. Griffin sees the event less as a lecture than as a working session. “It’s a great opportunity to step back and think through some of these emerging issues in a collaborative environment,” said Griffin, pointing to the panel<\/a> of law firm partners and in-house counsel, including many Carolina Law alumni joining the program. “They can help attendees take a more proactive approach to AI and other emerging topics.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n The program carries four hours of North Carolina continuing legal education credit, including one hour of professional responsibility and two hours of technology credit. Registration is $150.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
