In this episode of Leadership LIVE @ 8:05!, Andrew Frazier, MBA, CFA, is joined by Chief Compliance Officer, Deputy General Counsel, and AI legal advisor Marcia Narine Weldon to discuss the legal and compliance risks business owners should understand before integrating AI into their operations. As tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and AI-powered assistants become part of everyday business, founders must understand the legal responsibilities that come with using them. Together, they explore the hidden risks surrounding AI adoption—from client confidentiality and data privacy to contracts, intellectual property, and FTC compliance. Marcia shares practical guidance to help entrepreneurs avoid costly mistakes while confidently embracing AI to improve productivity and growth.
