SUMMARY:AI Legal Essentials: How to use AI and the Risks Involved
DESCRIPTION:Weightmans is going to delve into the world of AI – one of the hottest topics in the world of business right now. AI is increasingly relevant to businesses and business leaders as technological advances continue to shape and impact modern business in the UK. As a result\, MD’s\, business owners and other senior managers/leaders should have an insight into the world of AI. \nOur AI expert Dylan Thompson\, an Innovation & Product Solicitor at Weightmans\, is going to share his AI insights from the perspective of a Solicitor\, and also from Weightmans’ perspective as a national UK legal and professional services business. Co-hosting with David Hayes (Corporate/M&A Partner & International Desk Lead for North America) and Tina Chander (Employment Partner)\, Dylan will provide insights on certain key aspects of AI function\, use and parameters. David and Tina will also be discussing real life examples of the use\, benefits and risks of AI in the context of legal services and transactions. \n\nIn true Weightmans and MD2MD collaborative style\, we’ll explore the content in an open and interactive format workshop – balancing insight and participation to maximise learning and effective outcomes.

SUMMARY:From Dabbling to Doing – How leaders make AI work with confidence and judgement
DESCRIPTION:Over the past year\, most leaders have heard more about AI than they ever expected to. For many organisations\, 2025 was the year of dabbling. 2026 needs to be the year of doing – with clarity\, confidence and good judgement. \n\nThis session is designed as a practical reset. It creates space to step back from the noise\, take stock of what matters\, and make clearer decisions about where AI helps\, where it distracts\, and where it should be handled with care.\nThe focus is not on becoming more technical. It is on becoming more confident\, consistent\, and intentional in how AI shows up across your organisation. \nWhat will be covered?\nFull Agenda: \n08.45-09.00     Arrival and coffee – Informal conversation and settling in\n09:00–09:30    Optimism update & economic discussion\n09:30–09:55    The AI reality check – Acknowledging fatigue\, normalising uncertainty\, separating signal from noise\n09:55–10:25    AI literacy that matters – What leaders need to understand\, and what they can safely ignore\n10:25–10:45    Decisions before tools – When AI helps\, when it hinders\, and where human judgement stays central\n10:45–11:15    Coffee Break Coffee and informal reflection\n11:15–12:00    Responsible use and AI stance – Shared principles that guide confident\, consistent decisions\n12:00–12:30    Practical demonstrations  – Short\, grounded examples that illustrate good and poor use\n12:30–12:50    Reflective roundtables and close – Sense making\, discussion\, and next steps \nTakeaways\nWhat participants leave with: \n\nReassurance that they are not behind\, and do not need to chase everything\nA clearer mental model for when AI is genuinely useful\nGreater confidence in making consistent decisions as a leader\nAn implicit\, shared stance on responsible AI use within their organisation\nOne or two sensible next steps that fit their context\nThe intention is simple: fewer assumptions\, better judgement\, and calmer progress.
