This role will serve as the primary legal advisor for teams developing Abridge's AI and machine learning models, products, and technologies. You will be at the forefront of legal, AI, and healthcare, advising product teams on cutting-edge AI developments, from ambient clinical documentation to emerging agentic and multimodal healthcare experiences. This is a unique opportunity to shape how a category-defining company navigates novel legal terrain in a fast-paced, high-growth startup environment.
Responsibilities
- Serve as go-to counsel and partner for teams building core AI models and products, advising on legal issues spanning model development, agentic workflows, multimodal outputs, and downstream clinical use.
- Identify, address, and design practical mitigations for AI-specific legal risks, including model behavior, output accuracy, IP, data provenance and training rights, and liability for AI-generated content.
- Develop and scale flexible legal processes, frameworks, and contract language suited to the pace of frontier AI development.
- Serve as an internal expert on AI legal and policy matters, helping shape Abridge's positions on emerging AI regulation and representing those positions externally.
- Support privacy impact assessments, model risk assessments, and data governance frameworks specific to AI training, fine-tuning, and deployment.
- Partner with legal, product, and compliance stakeholders on AI principles such as transparency, accountability, and human oversight.
Requirements
- 8+ years of legal experience, including 4+ years counseling on AI, machine learning, or other emerging technology products.
- Prior in-house experience is required.
- Creativity in navigating novel legal matters, including building new processes, language, and frameworks.
- Working knowledge of AI-specific legal issues, including IP and copyright in AI-generated content, training data rights, model liability, and responsible AI principles.
- Proven ability to translate complex regulatory and technical AI concepts into clear, practical guidance for non-legal, technical audiences.
- Comfort operating with ambiguity, tight timelines, and a high volume of novel legal questions.
- Strong sense of ownership, intellectual curiosity about technology, and sound judgment in ambiguous situations.
