He went from a background in computer science and software engineering to sales and marketing consulting for the Fortune 500, while struggling with sales and marketing for his own firm.
His mission is to help other independent consultants make a bigger dent in the universe and get more clients by using their talents to teach instead of market, connect instead of network, and help instead of sell.
AI is in Everything Everywhere All the Time: How to Legally and Ethically Incorporate AI into Your Consulting Business
Artificial Intelligence is now baked into almost every tool you use—email, slides, search, CRMs—so the real question for consultants isn’t if you’ll use AI, but how to do it without risking your reputation or your business.
In this one-hour, plain-English workshop led by Erin Austin, you’ll learn how to fold AI into your everyday workflow in ways that are legally compliant and ethically solid.
We’ll cover what you need to know about protecting your intellectual property, ownership of AI-generated content, how to protect your clients’ confidential and proprietary information, and where the real legal and ethical red lines are.
You’ll leave with:
Harvard-trained intellectual property lawyer and AI legal strategist Erin Austin empowers experts, consultants, and creators to protect what makes them irreplaceable in an AI-driven world. Drawing on deep legal expertise, behavioral research, and real-world examples, Erin exposes how unchecked AI adoption is reshaping authorship, eroding trust, and blurring the boundaries of ownership.
Her provocative keynotes challenge professionals to proactively claim their ideas, safeguard client relationships, and lead with integrity—even as lawmakers lag behind. Erin equips audiences with the tools to navigate legal uncertainty, resist commoditization, and set their own ethical standards for success in the age of AI.
