Microsoft’s new Access Review Agent for Entra ID promises to turn one of the most tedious and error-prone identity-governance chores into a guided, AI-assisted workflow inside Microsoft Teams — but the convenience comes with clear prerequisites, operational trade-offs, and governance...
Thai in‑house counsel and litigation teams face a 2025 inflection point: generative AI has moved from experimental “time‑saver” to a regulated, business‑critical toolset that must be evaluated for PDPA compliance, explainability, and defensibility before it is used on client matters. The Nucamp...
