Ropes & Gray Consumer & Retail Industry Group co-heads Erica Han and Craig Marcus and M&A partner Jackie Cohen discuss the main takeaways from our recent survey with Corporate Counsel on generative AI adoption in consumer and retail companies.

In this video, our partners explore why caution persists in full AI integration across business operations, and what initiatives companies should prioritize for responsible AI adoption.
