AI-Generated Contracts: Risks, Liability & Practical Safeguards

Introduction

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how contracts are drafted and negotiated, especially in IT and technology sectors. This virtual classroom session explores the practical realities of using AI in commercial contracts, highlighting both the efficiency gains and the new risks that come with automated drafting. We will look at how AI tools can support legal work, but also why careful review and human judgement are essential to avoid hidden errors, inconsistencies and liability pitfalls.

Through recent case law and real-world examples, you will gain insight into how courts are approaching AI-generated clauses and what this means for contract enforceability.

The session is designed to give you a clear understanding of where AI adds value, where caution is needed and how you can develop practical safeguards to ensure your contracts are robust and reliable.

Gain practical knowledge and confidence to work with AI in contract drafting, balancing innovation with legal rigour and risk management.
