In April 2025, on the invitation of Komünite.com.tr, our Managing Partner Erdem Mümtaz Hacıpaşaoğlu led a session covering the law of AI, the use of AI in legal practice, legal AIs, and the legal risks and complications AI generates.
The central thesis of the session was clear: as the power of data grows alongside AI, legal responsibility becomes critical; integrating LLMs into business processes without first building proper AI governance triggers multiple legal risk vectors simultaneously.
Corporate AI governance
For a company adopting AI, the backbone of governance is how decision rights are allocated, at what level risk is owned, how third-party model contracts are structured, and how data flows are framed.
Interactions that create legal risk
Personal data, employment law, unfair competition, discrimination, ethics, intellectual property and cybersecurity were discussed as the multiple legal categories triggered wherever AI enters business operations; the boundaries around processing employee data and using AI in HR processes were among the most emphasized topics.
Highlights from this session
- Governance: Decision rights, third-party model contracts, data flows
- Multi-vector risk: KVKK, employment, unfair competition, discrimination, ethics, IP, cybersecurity
- HR processes: Employee data and legal boundaries of AI usage
