General Counsel and Chief Legal Officers are under increasing pressure to understand, and even lead, conversations about artificial intelligence. But how should GCs really be thinking about AI? Is it a technology issue, a governance issue, or a leadership opportunity?

As AI transforms how businesses operate, legal departments face a new frontier: balancing innovation with risk management while maintaining credibility as trusted advisors to the C-suite and board.

Join us for a practical conversation that will unpack what GCs need to know about AI, not just to keep up, but to lead. This session will address the day-to-day implications of AI for in-house counsel and provide real-world guidance on how to approach the questions you may be hesitant to ask.

Led by Peter Ganz, Strategic Advisor & Executive Coach at BarkerGilmore and former SVP, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer, and Secretary at Ashland Global Holdings Inc., the session will feature Pei Zhang, General Counsel of FORTNA, and Michael O’Sullivan, EVP, Chief Administrative and Legal Officer of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.

Together, they will share real-world insights on how AI is reshaping expectations for the General Counsel role and how legal leaders can approach this evolving landscape with confidence, curiosity, and credibility.

Key topics we will explore:

• The essential AI questions every GC should be asking, even the uncomfortable ones
• How to assess AI risks and opportunities without becoming paralyzed by complexity
• Communicating AI implications effectively to CEOs, boards, and executive teams
• Building confidence and credibility when leading technology-related conversations
• Real-world insights from GCs navigating AI-driven transformation

This webinar’s key benefits:

• Legal leaders will gain clarity on how AI intersects with governance, compliance, and strategic leadership
• In-house counsel will learn how to move from reactive risk management to proactive influence on emerging technology issues
• Organizations will leave with practical approaches for integrating AI considerations into legal strategy, board dialogue, and enterprise decision-making

Don’t miss this opportunity to explore how AI is reshaping the role of the General Counsel and to hear directly from leaders who are asking (and answering) hard questions about the future of legal leadership.
