    AI is quickly becoming as ubiquitous as search in our working lives. Just as search changes how we interact with the information at our disposal, AI tools give us new ways to process and manipulate information. Despite these tools being new, existing privacy and security laws apply to the use of these tools and contain detailed requirements for the types of assessments that organizations are expected to perform when using these tools to process personal data. We will walk through some of the more common assessments and how to approach assessing the risks, practices, and strategies for using AI tools in compliance with law and effectively.
