## Description

The IT world is evolving rapidly with the recent progress in AI and large language models (LLMs). Yet, when it comes to legal compliance, familiar questions arise: Which models can we use for commercial purposes? How can we integrate them into our projects and distribute them? How can we ensure that what we build meets enterprise compliance requirements?
In this talk, Antoine Thomas will introduce the concept of legal compliance, explain why developers often overlook it, and share best practices. After a quick overview of popular open source licenses, we’ll explore common AI model licenses and discuss tools and solutions developers can integrate into their CI/CD pipelines. Because yes—tech professionals can play a key role in compliance.
