Artificial Intelligence Strategic Body Established for the Examination of Transnational Regulations and Legal Hurdles
The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) has launched the ACC AI Center of Excellence for In-House Counsel, a new resource designed to support legal departments in integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into their workflows effectively. This center aims to provide strategic guidance, compliance frameworks, and best practices for legal challenges related to AI.
The ACC AI Center of Excellence curates content from leading experts and real-time contributions from ACC's global network. It will leverage ACC's network of corporate legal professionals across more than 100 countries for knowledge sharing and collaborative problem-solving on AI legal challenges.
Key resources and services offered by the center include AI governance guidance, best practice frameworks, training and workshops, practical AI use cases, community networking, access to AI tools and technology, and a focus on critical issues such as transparency, intellectual property, and human oversight within the Legal Profession section.
The center is designed to be a living, evolving resource with regularly updated content. It addresses an urgent need for coordinated legal guidance as artificial intelligence technologies transform business operations. Peer-to-peer learning and shared use cases ensure the center remains relevant and adaptable in an environment of rapid technological and regulatory change.
The In-House Lawyers section offers strategies and resources to help individual legal professionals enhance productivity and efficiency through AI. The Law Department section focuses on departmental readiness with governance models, compliance frameworks, and best practices for integrating AI into the broader operations of the legal function.
The ACC AI Center of Excellence will partner with leading technology companies, law firms, and member organizations for comprehensive, cutting-edge guidance addressing both legal requirements and practical business realities.
Veta T. Richardson, ACC president and CEO, stated that the center provides the knowledge, guidance, and peer-driven insights necessary for legal professionals to lead AI implementation with confidence and integrity. Shannon Klinger, ACC global board member and chief legal officer and corporate secretary at Moderna, added that the center will empower members to lead in AI innovation, manage emerging risks, and shape the future of legal practice.
