Generative AI can unlock transformational growth—but unchecked, it introduces five critical risks every business must address: cybersecurity, compliance, customer/vendor relationships, legal/ethical obligations, and privacy. Sheryl Savage, General Counsel at Positron AI, lays out a practical, business-first approach to adopting AI responsibly. From automating workflows to reducing legal costs by 75%, she demonstrates how non-technical leaders can integrate AI safely while driving efficiency and innovation. Key to her framework is a customizable AI compliance roadmap—a step-by-step tool that empowers employees to evaluate AI outputs against risk criteria, without involving legal teams for every decision. Real-world examples, like the OpenAI litigation update and Amazon’s AI code incident, show why proactive risk management is no longer optional. By aligning regulatory awareness with operational strategy, organizations can confidently harness AI while mitigating exposure and maintaining customer trust.

The Ad Legends app - co-founded by industry veterans Dave Metcalf. Steve Metcalf, Vince Cook and Cheryl Berman - is an AI-driven tool that mimics the creative process of a full-service ad agency, but in minutes rather than months. It was born from a conversation about the advertising industry’s slow adoption of AI, and the idea of building an app that could act like an agency. The platform is designed to be a collaborative partner, not a replacement for human creativity. It incorporates the "digital DNA" of legendary creatives like Lee Klau, Jimmy Smith, and Dave Metcalf, offering users access to their unique styles and ways of thinking.
