Drafting AI Clauses in Commercial & Corporate Contracts: A Lawyer’s Perspective

Introduction

Your client just signed a three-year SaaS contract. Six months in, they discover the supplier is using their confidential data to train AI models - and selling insights to competitors. The contract? Completely silent on AI.

AI is already embedded in the software, platforms and services your clients use every day. Yet many contracts were drafted before Generative Chat existed, leaving dangerous gaps around data usage, liability, transparency and control.

This session walks you through the practical drafting of AI clauses in IT contracts. It will work through real example clauses, pinpoint weaknesses and rebuild them to genuinely protect your clients.

What You Will Learn

This live and interactive course will cover the following:

• Defining and disclosing AI - drafting definitions that work and clauses requiring suppliers to disclose AI use upfront
• Data usage and training restrictions - practical clauses preventing your client's data from training AI models or being shared
• Liability and performance standards - allocating risk when AI fails and setting measurable SLAs for AI accuracy and reliability
• IP ownership and termination - protecting rights to AI-generated outputs and ensuring clean exits when contracts end
