GC360 Problem-Solving Virtual Roundtable
MEA: AI Risk & Governance: Legal Sector Readiness
Free to Attend | Live GC360 Virtual Roundtable
About the Session
AI governance is no longer optional — especially for legal departments managing risk, privacy, and regulatory compliance. As AI deployments grow across the Middle East and Africa, in-house legal teams must develop region-specific frameworks to address liability, ethics, and oversight. Regulators in the UAE, KSA, and beyond are setting new expectations around responsible AI use.
This roundtable brings together senior legal, compliance, and GRC professionals in MEA to explore:
-
Key legal, ethical, and governance considerations for AI in MEA
-
How legal departments are guiding AI strategy and compliance
-
Building oversight mechanisms across law firms, government, and corporations
-
Preparing for regulatory scrutiny, audits, and incident response
All participants will receive the full session recording and a curated post-event toolkit via GC360Flix.
