OVERVIEW
Artificial intelligence is reshaping every corner of the energy industry — from predictive maintenance on pipelines to algorithmic trading in power markets. For in-house counsel, this transformation raises urgent questions: What liability frameworks apply when AI systems make consequential decisions? How should contracts address AI-generated outputs? And how can legal teams harness AI themselves to work smarter and faster?
This webinar examines the legal and regulatory issues arising from the deployment of AI in the energy sector. Attorneys in attendance will review emerging federal and state regulatory frameworks, transparency and auditability requirements, human oversight obligations, risk management considerations, and governance practices for AI-enabled operations. Our speakers will also address counsel’s role in compliance, documentation, accountability, ethical responsibilities, and mitigation of legal and operationsal risks associated with AI systems.
