State of Commercial AI Contracts – Software, Cloud Services, and Beyond
A post by Davis Wright Tremaine proposes that professional services and particularly IT outsourcing agreements provide a better model for analytical artificial intelligence services than the widely used cloud services contracts.
“AI services have already become an important component of the IT portfolio for many large and small businesses,” writes Patrick E. Basinski. “The easy application of existing cloud services agreements as a contractual structure for AI services has helped accelerate AI’s adoption. As the reach of AI expands, new structures are needed to drive adoption of a set of potentially valuable AI solutions.”
