Responsible AI Summit Main Conference Day 1 - Monday 21 September

11:30 AM Panel Discussion – When Law Pushes and Governance Pulls: Closing the AI Accountability Gap

AI regulation is accelerating, yet many organisations still struggle to translate legal obligations into effective, day to day governance. Under the EU AI Act and emerging standards frameworks, organisational functions including Legal and Governance are collectively responsible for risk classification, oversight, documentation, and organisational controls, but often approach these duties from different angles. This session explores how Legal and Governance teams can work together in practice: aligning responsibilities, streamlining AI use case triage, and building a shared governance model that stands up to regulatory scrutiny.

• Aligning legal and governance roles through shared ac-countability models

• Improving AI use case filtering to focus oversight where it matters most

• Strengthening collaboration by clarifying what Governance needs from Legal to operationalise compliance
