Artificial intelligence is rapidly moving from a specialist technology issue to a mainstream contractual risk. As firms increasingly adopt generative and agentic AI tools, lawyers must consider how contracts should address emerging risks around governance, liability, transparency, ownership of outputs, and human oversight.

This practical webinar will explore the key factors practitioners should take into account when drafting, reviewing, and negotiating AI clauses in commercial and technology contracts. Attendees will gain practical guidance on allocating risk, addressing common contractual issues, and avoiding drafting pitfalls as AI technology continues to evolve.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Identify the key legal and commercial considerations when drafting and reviewing AI clauses.
  • Apply practical considerations when updating precedents and negotiating AI-related contractual provisions.
  • Evaluate approaches to allocating responsibility, liability, and oversight in AI-enabled arrangements.

Who Should Attend?

This webinar is designed for commercial, technology, corporate, and in-house lawyers who are involved in drafting, reviewing, negotiating, or advising on contracts that contemplate the use of artificial intelligence.

Amy Ryburn

Amy specialises in commercial law.  She advises on a range of commercial matters but has a particular focus on technology, media and telecommunications (TMT), outsourcing, public sector contracting and procurement, intellectual property, privacy and data protection, and consumer law matters.

Amy has more than 20 years of experience working on complex technology projects in both New Zealand and the United Kingdom.  Her team has worked on some of the most significant technology contracts in New Zealand in recent years (including a number of syndicated and framework agreements put in place for use by eligible Government agencies throughout New Zealand).

Her expertise includes drafting, negotiating and providing strategic pragmatic advice on agreements for both customers and suppliers for cloud computing solutions, a full range of network and other telco services, and software development projects (using both agile and waterfall methodologies).

Amy's experience also extends to a wide range of general commercial agreements, such as strategic alliances, franchise agreements, IP transfer, licensing and exploitation agreements, publishing agreements, data licensing agreements, reseller and distribution arrangements and customer terms (including drafting online terms and privacy statements and policies and advising on consumer law issues related to such terms and compliance with the unfair contract terms regime).

Amy has a particular interest in how technology contracts can be crafted to support and promote project success. She is a regular speaker on issues such as risk allocation and ICT project failure.
