Ford’s General Counsel is challenging law firms on AI adoption.
The Story
Firms claiming AI leadership must now meet client expectations from a major corporation.
Why It Matters
Ford’s General Counsel is challenging law firms on AI adoption, indicating client demands will now dictate how firms implement new technology. For European law firms, this means clients will expect demonstrable AI use that respects data sovereignty and GDPR, not just vague promises. The EU AI Act countdown adds urgency; clients will scrutinize your AI approach, particularly for sensitive data.
