Product Description

Businesses now face a key question: how can they harness artificial intelligence for efficiency and profit while managing the legal and ethical risks it triggers? The answer often lies in well-crafted AI notices, policies, procedures, guidelines, technical standards, and training materials. Relatedly, their vendors may use external notices to set expectations for customers, provide essential warnings, and promote transparency; internally, those vendors may also rely on policies and documentation to embed core values into their products and services, and create guardrails for developers and marketers. Consequently, it is vital for a company’s attorneys to understand those documents and notices and collaborate in their development.

This panel explores how organizations of all kinds can benefit from internal policies and documentation that govern the acceptable use of both public and proprietary AI systems. Attendees gain practical advice on creating, communicating, and enforcing AI-related documentation, as well as insights on how to balance the usability of such materials with the need to mitigate legal and ethical risks.
