Keys for Drafting a Generative AI Use Policy for your Organization: A Guide for In-House Legal Teams
Event Description
Generative AI, such as Open AI’s Chat GPT, has emerged as a means of quickly and efficiently developing or manipulating content. Unfortunately, the use of generative AI comes with substantial risks and legal uncertainties, including hallucinations, potential for misuse, use of copyrighted materials in teaching the large language models, and potential infringement of intellectual property rights in outputs. As a result, it is now critical for organizations to develop and adopt generative AI use policies that can not only address the concerns of generative AI but to also reap their benefits.
Join us on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, at 12 PM ET / 9 AM for the next edition of our Gen AI Deep Dives series as Joshua Rich and Jerry Lu of McDonnell Boehnen Hulbert & Berghoff LLP discuss the considerations that go into developing a generative AI use policy, and how best to balance them to ensure appropriate use.
Discussion topics include:
- What is GenAI? And how do issues arise and grow with its use?
- How GenAI can create and exacerbate copyright and other intellectual property issues,
- Best Practices for drafting a GenAI Use policy for your organization
