A UNDP-commissioned report reveals widespread "shadow use" of AI in India's legal sector.
The Story
The report highlights that many legal professionals are unaware of the associated risks.
Why It Matters
This isn't just an Indian problem; it's happening everywhere. Lawyers are using AI tools without proper oversight, data governance, or understanding of compliance. This "shadow AI" is a ticking bomb for client data, regulatory fines (EU AI Act, anyone?), and firm reputation. It's the wild west, and someone needs to adult.
What To Do About It
I can help your firm identify and audit existing AI use, implement secure, compliant AI workflows (M365 first, local-first for sensitive data), and train your team on governed AI execution before August 2026.
