In Episode 4 of the AI Innovations Podcast Series, hosted by John Stamper, Scopic’s legal experts, Başak Çeçen and Joseph Chigwidden, share crucial insights into what it takes to build AI solutions that are both powerful and compliant.
This episode highlights how businesses can future-proof their AI projects by thinking about compliance from the start – and why legal teams must have a front-row seat during AI development.
Whether you’re in tech, healthcare, finance, or any AI-driven industry, this conversation is a must-listen.
Why Discovery Matters: Legal Risk Starts Early
Building compliant AI begins with a strong discovery phase.
“From day one, we’re looking at nailing down the discovery phase of a project.”
Başak and Joseph explain why mapping out how data flows, how AI is trained, and how accountability is handled must happen early, not later, when the product is already built.
Data Privacy Laws You Can’t Ignore
The team dives into major regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA, and why even small AI systems must be designed with these in mind.
“At Scopic, we adopt a compliance-by-design mindset.”
From user consent protocols to secure data handling and third-party API assessments, Scopic integrates legal thinking into every step of the development process.
Managing AI Bias and Building Explainability
Bias and explainability aren’t just ethical issues – they’re becoming legal requirements.
“We build explanation layers to allow users and regulators to understand the rationale behind decisions.”
Scopic’s approach to AI development services includes:
- Auditing training data for bias risks
- Creating transparency layers in AI outputs
- Mapping decision pathways for regulatory reporting
Legal as a Core Partner in Development
Instead of viewing legal as a blocker, Scopic integrates its legal team from sales kickoff to product launch.
“We’re the safety engineer. We’re catching pitfalls early so that compliance isn’t an afterthought.”
When legal counsel stays actively involved, companies can innovate faster – with less fear of costly retrofits or shutdowns due to non-compliance.

Future-Proofing Your AI Build
AI regulations are evolving rapidly, and Scopic helps clients stay ahead.
“We align development practices with emerging frameworks, not just what’s on the books today.”
By focusing on documentation, transparency, and responsible AI use, Scopic ensures that client platforms are built for long-term success, not just today’s rules.
