July 13 Webinar – Artificial Intelligence Contracts: Drafting and Negotiating
Artificial intelligence is software – delivered via the cloud, like SaaS, or as an on-premise system. So most of its terms should be familiar to experienced tech contracts drafters. However, the most sophisticated forms –generative AI like ChatGPT – have features unlike any other software. We’ll look at those differences and the new terms they require. And we’ll look at commonalities with traditional software deals, so we can ground ourselves in the familiar.
To set the stage, you may want to check out David Tollen’s recent blog post, “Artificial Intelligence Contracts: An Issue-Spotter — Part 1 of 3.” Topics for the webinar include:
- Rights to training data, prompts, and outputs
- Special IP risks and their impact on indemnities, warranties, and more
- Privacy compliance terms
- Terms on hallucination, defamation, and other third party risks
- AI’s role as SaaS … or not
- And more …
