The Story
The piece highlights the legal consequences of integrating AI into these sensitive processes.
Why It Matters

Review your firm's current client agreements for AI-related liability clauses, especially for life sciences or healthcare clients. Ask your team if they know where AI tools are being used, even experimentally, within client projects. If you need a framework for assessing these risks, let's talk.
