WEBINAR 3: Who Owns What When You Use AI?

About Event

Now comes the question that too many organisations ignore until it’s too late.

Who actually owns the outputs your AI generates?

  • The content, code, or designs created by AI tools

  • The intellectual property embedded in training data

  • The liability if something goes wrong

These questions aren’t abstract. Organisations are already facing disputes, vendor challenges, and legal uncertainty.

This one-hour webinar delivers practical guidance for senior leaders navigating AI-related IP, copyright, and legal risk and previews the hands-on frameworks explored in the Executive Education course.


Why Attend?

AI adoption is moving faster than governance, policies, and contracts. Without clarity, organisations risk:

  • Unclear ownership of AI-generated assets

  • Copyright or licensing violations

  • Vendor lock-in or contractual exposure

  • Legal and reputational risk

This webinar equips leaders with a structured, practical approach to protect their organisations before problems arise.


What We’ll Cover

1. Ownership of AI-Generated Outputs

  • Who owns content, code, and designs generated by AI

  • How human input affects ownership claims

  • Where ambiguity exists and how to mitigate it

2. Copyright and Protection

  • Can AI-generated outputs be copyrighted or otherwise protected?

  • Understanding “originality” in an AI context

  • Practical implications for software, marketing, and creative assets

3. Training Data and Liability

  • Risks tied to models trained on copyrighted material

  • What happens if your organisation is challenged legally

  • How liability is allocated between vendors and users

4. Vendor Terms and Negotiation

  • What contracts and terms of service typically say about IP

  • Key clauses to watch for to protect your organisation

  • Negotiating practical protections without slowing adoption

5. Policies, Guardrails, and Governance

  • Internal policies organisations should implement now

  • Guardrails for employees using generative AI tools

  • Governance structures that scale with adoption

  • Aligning legal, technical, and business teams around AI risk


Learning Outcomes

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Understand ownership and copyright risks associated with AI outputs

  • Assess legal and IP exposure across internal and vendor-led initiatives

  • Evaluate vendor contracts and licensing terms with confidence

  • Implement organisational policies and guardrails to mitigate risk

  • Communicate AI IP considerations clearly to boards, legal teams, and stakeholders


Who Should Attend

  • ​C-suite and senior executives

  • ​Board members and non-executive directors

  • ​Strategy, transformation, and innovation leaders

  • ​Anyone responsible for approving, funding, or overseeing AI initiatives

No coding required


Speakers

This session brings together leaders at the intersection of AI, law, and governance:

  • Legal experts specialising in intellectual property and technology law

  • Academics from UCL CSRI researching AI governance and regulation

  • Industry leaders who have built AI IP policies from scratch

These are people dealing with real-world IP questions in real organisations today.

[Speaker names and credentials to be announced]


From Webinar to Executive Education

This webinar is the final session in a short series and forms part of a broader collaboration with Acuity Data, supporting leaders who want to move beyond experimentation toward responsible, strategic AI deployment.

For those who want to go further, the Executive Education course builds on this session by:

  • Translating insight into actionable roadmaps and policies

  • Guiding participants through hands-on application to their own organisations

  • Providing expert faculty guidance and peer learning

  • Covering governance, IP, data strategy, and change management in depth
