AI Vendor Contracts: Data Rights, IP, Risk Allocation, and Compliance
A live 90-minute CLE video webinar with interactive Q&A
This CLE webinar will examine how companies should structure agreements with AI vendors. The panel will discuss data rights over inputs and outputs, IP and copyright risk allocation, privacy/security and cross-border transfer obligations, safety and bias assurances for risk-sensitive use cases, and operational controls (SLAs, model updates, and change control) that differ from traditional SaaS deals.
Outline
- Introduction
- What makes AI contracts different: model training, dynamic updates, output risk
- Data rights: inputs, outputs, and training
- IP and copyright risk allocation
- Privacy, security, and cross‑border transfers
- Safety, bias, and high risk use cases
- Model operations: SLAs, updates, and change control
- Competition and use restrictions
- Termination, portability, and switching
- Practitioner takeaways
Benefits
The panel will review these and other important considerations:
- How to spot and prioritize red flags in AI agreements
- Understanding inputs/outputs/improvements, and how to set ownership and permitted-use positions
- Allocating IP risk from provider copyright/IP indemnities (scope, exclusions, and required mitigations)
- Strengthening privacy/security terms (audit rights, incident notice, localization/transfer, sub-processor controls)
- Model governance in contracts: availability vs. quality SLAs, model change control, version pinning, and rollback rights
- Considering high risk and regulated uses with bias/safety assurances
- Termination, portability, and switching (including data export and transition assistance)
