About this course

Artificial intelligence contracts raise new concerns, as well as familiar ones. They're software agreements and so call for terms many software contract managers and lawyers know well. But certain AI systems raise unique issues, particularly generative AI and other forms of machine learning (ML). This course looks at those issues and explains the new terms they require.

Enroll and you can ask David Tollen questions (via chat) and learn the most up-to-date best practices on the cutting-edge issues impacting AI contracts. You also get access to a webinar recording for 30 days after (even if you miss the live event).

Topics covered include:

  • Rights to training data, prompts, and outputs
  • Special IP risks and their impact on indemnities, warranties, and more
  • Privacy compliance terms
  • Terms on hallucination, defamation, and other third party risks
  • AI’s role as SaaS … or not
  • And more …

As usual, your instructor is David Tollen, author of The Tech Contracts Handbook, attorney, UC Berkeley lecturer, expert witness, and sought-after speaker.

You can review a sample chapter from an earlier-recorded (on-demand) program, here.

Length: 2 hrs. (CA CLE 2 hrs.)

MARCH 20, 2025 - 10:00 a.m. PDT / 1:00 p.m. EDT

Jurisdictions elsewhere (and professions) differ on whether students may apply individually, and if so what’s required. See here for details about CLE.
