Description
Companies and law firms need to control the risks posed by AI. But when your company purchases an AI tool from a vendor, or supports partners like Legal Aid organizations who may have integrated AI tools into their client service processes, you really don't have that much control.
This panel will discuss what types of controls are possible with third-party AI systems, how to balance the benefits of working with the vendor or partner versus the risks posed to your employees or partners, and how to evaluate what policy terms are "nice to have" versus non-negotiable.
At the conclusion, participants should feel empowered to ask better questions when creating AI policies that impact vendor or partner agreements, understand the issues associated with the most common policy challenges, and learn through the experience of panel experts who have had to face these same issues in their organizations and firms.
Listen as our authoritative panel provides guidance on the benefits and risks associated with third-party vendors, the possible controls to leverage, and setting AI policies impacting vendor and partner agreements.
