AI isn’t just another tech trend, it’s transforming how businesses operate, interact with customers, and make decisions. But alongside the opportunities come new layers of legal, ethical, and operational responsibility. The real challenge? Knowing what your obligations are before you deploy the tools.

In this thought-provoking piece, Macpherson Kelley outlines why understanding AI’s impact should be a mission-critical priority for leadership, legal, and compliance teams.

Key Highlights:

  • AI use is already happening—often unknowingly
    Many organizations are already using AI (e.g., in software platforms) without fully realizing the regulatory implications or risks.

  • Understand your “why”
    Businesses need to define their purpose for using AI and ensure its deployment aligns with core values and compliance frameworks.

  • Regulatory expectations are rising
    Governments around the world, including in Australia, are moving quickly to introduce laws that will impact how AI is developed and used.

  • A proactive strategy is key
    Embedding AI readiness into internal governance, risk management, and employee training will help organizations stay ahead of both innovation and regulation.
