Legal professionals are increasingly using AI to build internal automations, workflow tools, and client-facing applications, often without the involvement of the IT or security departments. This episode examines what happens when "vibe coding" meets the legal environment: client data handled by code nobody fully understands, third-party dependencies nobody vetted, and compliance obligations nobody mapped. Listeners will leave with practical tips for enabling AI-assisted code development without abandoning their duty of care.
