GC AI at ACC Austin’s Golf & Spa Event
We’re looking forward to catching up with Austin’s in-house community over lunch.GC AIis an enterprise legal AI platform built for in-house teams, helping lawyers use company documents and legal research in their everyday work. As of September 2026, 2,200+ legal teams, including 300+ public companies, use GC AI. Legal teams atViant TechnologyandColumbia Sportswearuse it.
Come hear Solutions Attorney Amanda Ferriss present “AI Ethics for In-house Legal: From Hallucinations to Privilege” during the noon to 1:15 p.m. lunch/CLE block.
Her session covers confidentiality, privilege, quality control, and supervision, the practical checks that help lawyers protect sensitive information, assess whether AI output is reliable enough to use, and keep a lawyer responsible for the final call.
If you can’t make the lunch session, or want to keep practicing after it, ourLegal AI Ethics for In-House Legalcourse covers those same core questions through live exercises. You’ll work through privilege and confidentiality scenarios, use a verification checklist to assess AI output, and practice reviewing AI-generated analysis. A Solutions Attorney leads the exercises and answers questions throughout. GC AI’sAI governance intake guideoffers a related framework for routing AI requests to the right review while keeping the risk judgment with the lawyer.
Come say hello, bring a question for the GC AI team, and hear how other in-house teams use GC AI. You can also ask for a demo.
