Some of the most prominent names in tech, including Amazon, ByteDance, OpenAI, Meta, and Nvidia, are in search of in-house legal counsel specialized in Artificial Intelligence (AI). According to law.com, these companies have been quite explicit in their job postings about their need for AI product counsel, who can simultaneously show enthusiasm for technology and handle complex AI issues.
Additionally, these AI-focused legal professionals are expected to work hand-in-hand with product, marketing, and engineering teams. This collaboration will aid in navigating through an evolving sea of AI regulations and risks that are inherently intricate due to the emergent nature and rapid advancement of the AI industry.
As explained by Anna Gorodetsky, a managing director on Major, Lindsey & Africa’s in-house recruiting team, the AI sector is ardently adapting and growing. Thus, calling oneself an AI expert at this point dabbles into ambiguity as the field itself is continually and profoundly changing.
