During GCWN Frontline's first global webinar, “AI and the GC: Pressure, fear and what actually works” attended by over sixty senior in-house counsel, participants revealed something surprising. AI adoption itself is no longer the primary challenge. Most legal leaders are already using AI in some form. The challenge now is turning experimentation into capability and capability into meaningful organisational change. The legal teams making the greatest progress are not necessarily those with the most sophisticated tools. They are often those with cultures that encourage curiosity, experimentation and learning. In that sense, AI is not creating innovative organisations but revealing them.
