NEW YORK, Sept. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As organizations integrate artificial intelligence into business operations and decision-making, legal departments and compliance teams face growing pressure to manage the legal, operational, and governance risks associated with AI. To help meet that challenge, PLI Press has published A Guide to Creating an Effective AI Corporate Compliance Program by Carole Basri (Corporate Lawyering Group LLC) with Shlomit Yanisky-Ravid (Fordham University School of Law), Alonzo Barber (Microsoft), and contributors from Clifford Chance LLP.
The book provides a practical framework for organizations to establish effective governance and oversight around their use of AI. Grounded in the seven elements of an effective compliance program under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Section 8B2.1 and the U.S. Department of Justice's Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs, the treatise demonstrates how established compliance principles can be applied to AI governance and risk management. It guides readers through designing, implementing, and maintaining AI compliance programs that can adapt as technologies, risks, and regulatory requirements continue to evolve.
“Many organizations are experimenting with AI but have not yet developed a structured approach to governing its use,” says Basri. “This treatise provides a practical roadmap for creating an effective AI corporate compliance program that can help organizations assess risk, establish governance structures, and responsibly manage new technologies as they evolve.”
Topics covered include:
- AI governance, legal risk assessment, and board oversight
- Global AI regulation and emerging compliance obligations
- Data governance, privacy, and the AI data lifecycle
- AI security, cybersecurity, and operational resilience
- Intellectual property and ownership issues involving AI
- Agentic AI and other emerging technologies
Designed for in-house and outside counsel, compliance officers, risk professionals, and others responsible for managing AI governance, the treatise combines legal analysis with practical implementation guidance, including checklists, sample policies, and procedures organizations can adapt to their own compliance programs.
