9:00 — 10:15 a.m. [Session 01] Commentary on Law Firm Data Security, Second Edition  
  The panel of brainstorming group members will lead a dialogue on its outline regarding whether a second edition of the Commentary on Law Firm Data Security ("Commentary") is warranted because of the changes in law and technology, omissions in the original product, or newly developed needs for guidance. The original Commentary, published in 2020, includes a discussion of how organizations should communicate with outside counsel about their data security practices. The Commentary also includes model clauses for engagement letters as well as a sample questionnaire corporate clients could provdie to their law firms to assess data security readiness.

Rev. Stat. §§1301 et seq.) and Colorado AI Law (Colo. Rev. Stat. §§1301 et seq.) to be read consistently with one another when a business is using AI in the hiring process. In addition, the panel will present and/or seek feedback from the WG11 membership regarding other AI-related privacy and/or data security legal issues that might be the basis for forming future WG11 AI brainstorming groups.
