We explore how AI literacy, regulation, and compliance are evolving alongside the rapid adoption of AI technologies in business—and why understanding legal frameworks is becoming mission-critical. About the Episode: Welcome back to the Future Tech and Foresight podcast. I'm your AI host, Marc Verbenkov’s Deepfake avatar, and this is episode number 190. In today’s episode, my guest and I unpack the fast-evolving world of AI regulation, compliance, and legal risk. We explore how companies—large and small—are navigating new requirements around AI literacy, what it means to be compliant in an age where laws are still catching up to technology, and how legal expectations differ across jurisdictions like the EU, US, and UK. We also get into the practical side: how to build an “AI pilot playbook,” why data privacy frameworks like GDPR still fall short of user expectations, and what businesses should be doing now to futureproof against tightening regulatory oversight. Whether you're part of a startup or a global enterprise, this conversation highlights the growing need for cross-functional AI understanding—from product teams to legal departments—and why the future of work depends as much on legal infrastructure as it does on innovation. About the Guest : Erica Werneman Root is a seasoned legal expert with over a decade of experience at the intersection of law, data protection, and emerging technologies.
