Join globally recognised futurist and AI expert Andrew Grill as he explores why digital curiosity is the single greatest advantage for legal teams today — and how generative AI is already reshaping the way in‑house lawyers work.
In this keynote, Andrew mixes practical examples, real‑world warnings, and clear next steps to help legal leaders and teams adopt AI safely and strategically.
What you’ll learn:
- Why “digital curiosity” matters and how to cultivate it across your legal function
- Practical, low‑risk AI use cases for in‑house teams — from meeting transcripts and document review to agent‑driven workflows
- How generative AI works (and why hallucinations happen)
- The evolving role of GC: from gatekeeper to architect of legal intelligence
- Governance, policy and ethical guardrails every legal team should have
- Practical prompts and experimentation tips to get started safely
- Security risks (voice/video cloning, account compromise) and simple mitigations like family/team passwords
- Real examples: using agents to automate repetitive tasks, using AI to score entries, and turning content into podcasts
Who this is for:
- General Counsel and senior legal leaders looking to build AI strategy and governance
- In‑house lawyers and junior legal professionals wanting practical steps to adopt AI
- Legal ops, risk, compliance and anyone curious about how AI will change the legal function
Highlights from the talk:
- Digital curiosity quiz and why curiosity predicts AI success
- Agentic AI examples (executive assistant, contract agents)
- Live demos: transcript intelligence, data analysis, “find Wally” in documents
- Five actionable next steps to take back to your team tomorrow
Recommended next steps (from the keynote):
- Pick one low‑risk task and try an AI workflow
- Review or create an AI policy and approved tools list
- Use deeper prompting techniques (multi‑shot / “justify your answer”)
