AI for Legal, Finance & Operations · Lesson 2
Regulation and compliance
How to use AI to break down new regulations and get the company ready for them.
Scenarios
- A new law / regulation in your industry (e.g. the EU AI Act).
- A regulator's guideline you need to adapt your processes to.
- Local requirements when entering a new market.
Workflow
- AI: "what the document is about, who it affects, the key requirements".
- AI: deadlines and transitional provisions.
- AI: penalties.
- AI: a list of company actions for the first 30/60/90 days.
- AI: a list of clear ambiguities for the lawyers.
- The lawyer: the final opinion.
- Ops: the rollout plan and the DRI.
What matters
- Regulation is an area where a "confident but false" AI answer carries a high price.
- Always work from the official text, never a paraphrase.
- Cite article numbers in the answer.
The trick
For ongoing work, use a Perplexity Space or a Claude Project loaded with the reference regulatory documents. Update it as amendments come out.
Practical exercise
What to do after this lesson
Take a recent regulatory document from your field. Run it through the template. Compare with what the lawyer says.
Ready-to-use prompt
