On Wednesday, December 13, 2023, Avi Gesser, Charu Chandrasekhar, and Michelle Huang from the Data Strategy and Security Group, and Kevin Schmidt in our Mergers & Acquisitions Group, discussed how PE firms are using AI and ways to identify and mitigate AI-related risks.

Key takeaways from the discussion included answers to the following questions:

  • How are PE firms currently using AI?
  • What are the regulatory or other risks that may be associated with the use of AI by a PE firm and its portfolio companies?
  • How should PE firms approach AI policies, procedures and governance?
  • How can PE firms harness the potential of AI while also mitigating the potential risks associated with its use, and how can they help their portfolio companies do the same?
