Legal is a massive bottleneck in many large enterprises.
Unfortunately there’s so much shared legal context between different parts of an enterprise that it’s difficult for each internal organisation to have their own own separate legal resources.
In an ideal world there’d be a lawyer embedded in every product team so that decisions could get made without going to massive committees.
Quite possibly yes, and I personally grew up in a cult of Bible lawyers so I can imagine it, but here we are talking corporate ethics (an oxymoron) and AI alignment, which are independent of religion.
I mean, personally I see most religious ethics as oxymoronic too, at least in the sense of general ethics that would apply across heterogenous populations. Companies and religions typically have a set of ethics optimized for their best interests.
I don't think we solved the need for a specialized team dealing with legality, feels hard to expect companies to solve it for ethics.
