Demystifying AI Frameworks for Legal, Security, and Compliance Teams
AI governance is evolving quickly, but the guidance available to organizations is fragmented across state laws, industry standards, and voluntary frameworks.
For legal, risk, and compliance teams, it’s already hard to keep up with every new requirement.
So how do you identify common principles that matter and turn them into practices your organization can apply, document, and defend?
In this session, we’ll bring together legal and security perspectives and explore what frameworks such as NIST and ISO are asking organizations to do, how those expectations connect to emerging regulatory requirements, and where teams should focus first.

The answer is not to chase every framework independently. It is to build toward core principles that make AI systems more transparent, traceable, and accountable.
