Governance-Grade AI: What Legal Teams Should Actually Expect | JD Supra

You bought the AI tool. Nobody uses it. Sound familiar?

Here's the uncomfortable truth: that's not your fault — and it's not your team's fault either.

Most AI tools get sold on features, not fit. No one asks how it plugs into what you already do, who owns the output, or what happens when it gets something wrong. Those aren't technical questions. They're business questions — and they should have been answered before you signed anything.

Legal teams are learning this the hard way too. The smarter ones are now asking three things before any AI goes live: Who controls access? Where does human review happen? And who is accountable when it fails?

Those same three questions work for any business. They're not complicated. They take about 20 minutes to answer — and they separate AI that actually sticks from AI that quietly dies on a shelf.

Before your next AI conversation, write down those three questions. Bring them to the vendor. If they struggle to answer clearly, that tells you everything you need to know.

One focused question beats six months of research every time.

What stopped your last AI tool from actually getting used by your team?
