Enterprise legal departments are currently navigating a breakdown in AI adoption caused by scattered data, inconsistent global regulations, and a lack of clear governance for grading automated workflows. In this episode, Christo Siebrits, Senior Associate and General Counsel at AbbVie, outlines how a validated internal large language model environment combined with a forced-ranking strategy for use cases can mitigate risk while focusing technical resources on high-value initiatives. The discussion focuses on practical frameworks for cross-functional training, aligning with the EU AI Act, and integrating legal oversight into early-stage technical development to ensure scalable and compliant innovation.
