In this episode of Contractually Speaking, Matt sits down with Malbek General Counsel, legal technology advocate, professor, and author Colin Levy to discuss his new book, Code Switched: A Lawyer’s Guide to the Era of AI. For legal teams, the biggest questions now are how to use AI responsibly, how to govern it across the enterprise, and how to manage risks that are evolving almost as quickly as the technology itself. Colin explains why he wrote the book to help legal professionals cut through both the hype and anxiety surrounding artificial intelligence, and develop a more practical understanding of what AI can—and cannot—do. The conversation explores how legal teams are moving from individual AI use cases toward enterprise-wide governance, why lawyers need a voice in corporate AI strategy, and how data privacy, confidentiality, security, and ethical obligations are shaping adoption not only for today’s technology, but for what may come next. 🔑 Key Takeaways: • How lawyers can separate useful AI applications from hype • Confidentiality, security, ethics, and responsible AI use • Why legal teams should help shape company-wide AI policies • Future-proofing agreements as AI models, pricing, and capabilities evolve • The risks of autonomous and agentic AI • How lawyers can balance innovation with risk rather than simply avoiding it 📘 Pre-order Colin’s new book, Code Switched: A Lawyer’s Guide to the Era of AI (20% off with promo code SWITCHED20): https://amplifypublishinggroup.com/au... 👉 Subscribe and listen to Contractually Speaking on the platform of your choice at https://podcast.malbek.io 🎙️ Interested in being a guest or sponsoring the show?
