Sir Robert Buckland on Navigating AI Risk and Regulation
As AI tools become embedded in everyday business decisions, the legal and ethical stakes are rising fast.
In this episode, Glenn speaks with former UK Justice Secretary and Lord Chancellor, Sir Robert Buckland KC, about what companies need to know now, before the regulations catch up.
Drawing on his time in government and as a senior fellow at Harvard, Buckland offers a frank, practical perspective on the realities businesses face: from data retention pitfalls and copyright clashes to the risks of automation and global regulatory drift.
They explore:
- Why existing laws already apply to AI — and where the grey areas are
- The UK’s approach vs. the EU and US regulatory models
- What boards and founders should ask before adopting AI tools
- How trust, transparency and human judgment remain non-negotiables
- What gives him hope that we’ll get it right — eventually
Whether you’re building with AI or buying it in, this conversation offers a clear-eyed look at the risks, responsibilities, and decisions business leaders can’t afford to delay.
