Great to be back in San Francisco last week with Aditya Rathod at Legal Innovators California. Our second conference for Coheso with more to come throughout the year. Really appreciated the opportunity to share a presentation on Making In-House Legal Work More Human in the GenAI Era. More importantly, as always with Legal Innovators, I learned a tremendous amount from the other speakers and panelists. Caught the red-eye back for my daughter’s 8th grade “graduation”. Land at JFK at 6:00 am. In my seat at the ceremony in CT by 8:30 am. 😅 #legaltech #GenAI #inhousecounsel

Excited to be speaking on the In-House Day of the Legal Innovators California conference in San Francisco next Wednesday. An overview of my presentation is below. Making In-House Legal Work More Human in the GenAI Era After briefly examining how major technological transformations have impacted the nature of work in the past, this session will focus on what in-house attorneys and legal operations professionals can do to best position themselves and their departments to thrive in the era of GenAI. Viewed through the lens of legal intake and work management, the presentation will highlight practical considerations and tips for leveraging GenAI in ways that empower individual employees, legal departments, and organizations as a whole. As always, looking forward to seeing many familiar faces there. We’ll be demoing the Coheso platform as well. If you’re going, see you in the Bay Area!

Security considerations in LLMs/GenAI are crucial yet often overlooked. CLOC (Corporate Legal Operations Consortium) #CGI24 is doing a commendable job in advancing this dialogue. I attended a session titled “5 Questions Every Legal Ops Professional Should Ask Their CISOs,” and here’s a concise summary: 1. Frequency of Meetings: How often should the CISO and legal ops meet? The consensus seemed to be once a quarter. 2. Data Integrity: When training or fine-tuning models, it’s vital to ensure the quality of the data, including redacting personally identifiable information (PII). 3. Framework Adoption: What framework should Legal Department Operations (LDOs) adopt before purchasing technology? The NIST AI Risk Management Framework is an excellent starting point. 4. Regulated Industries: What additional precautions should I take if using Gen AI in regulated industries? The key is to ensure compliance with industry-specific regulations and conduct regular audits to maintain adherence. 5. Vendor Red Flags: Which words or actions from a tech vendor should raise alarms? Phrases like “using your data” and “fine-tuning” should prompt further inquiries to fully understand where and how your data is being utilized. Some additional security concerns not covered in the talk include: 1. Prompt Injection: This involves unauthorized users injecting malicious input into AI prompts, potentially leading to undesirable outputs. To avoid this, implement strict input validation and monitoring systems. 2. Privilege Escalation: Inadequate access control may allow unauthorized access to sensitive data. It’s essential to enforce role-based access controls and regularly review permissions. 3.Model Denial of Service (DoS): Preventing a high volume of requests from certain users that could lead to API unavailability for others requires rate limiting and robust monitoring. 4. Supply Chain Vulnerabilities: Ensure that all components used in the AI pipeline, such as AI frameworks and vector databases, are secure and up to date to mitigate risks. What other key security considerations should legal operations professionals keep in mind when deploying AI solutions in their organizations? #LegalTech #SecurityInAI #Cybersecurity #DataProtection #LegalOperations #LLM #GenAI #OWASP
