Partner Event with HCR Law: AI Ate My Contract: A Survival Guide to Doing Deals in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
AI is transforming the way tech companies contract – from auto-generated terms of service to AI-powered procurement tools and algorithmic pricing. But the law hasn't caught up, and the risks are real. This session cuts through the hype with practical, no-jargon guidance on the commercial and contractual issues every tech business needs to get right:
Who owns what AI creates? – IP ownership when your product trains on or generates content
The "black box" problem in contracts – how to deal with AI decision-making in your service agreements without triggering liability nightmares
Data in, data out – navigating data licensing, training data rights, and customer pushback on AI processing
AI suppliers: what to demand – the five clauses you actually need in any AI vendor contract (and the ten pages of nonsense you can bin)
The EU AI Act and UK approach – a 5-minute plain-English overview, because somebody has to do it
"No AI" clauses – why your customer is asking for them and how to respond without killing the deal
The session uses live audience polling and features a tech founder guest sharing their real-life experience of negotiating AI-related terms with enterprise customers.
