The Roadmap
Contracting for AI – latest market practice
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Vik Khurana and William White break down how the rise of generative and agentic AI is reshaping technology contracting. Mapping practice across traditional IT, gen AI and agentic AI, they offer practical guidance on IP ownership, performance risk, liability frameworks and negotiation strategy – cutting through the uncertainty for anyone negotiating AI deals. In particular:
- How AI-generated outputs and autonomous agent workflows are complicating data and IP ownership models
- New approaches to performance warranties as AI systems shift from deterministic to probabilistic
- Liability caps, IP indemnities and why agentic AI disclaimers deserve extra scrutiny
