The world of technology is experiencing a real explosion – and at the very center of this explosion is artificial intelligence. AI is no longer just a buzzword, but a real tool that transforms business processes, changes the approach to data processing, product creation and even customer interaction. But with this transformation comes new legal challenges. How to conclude contracts in a world where algorithms make decisions and content is created without human intervention? Businesses are looking for answers to these questions in partnership with law firms that understand not only the law, but also the very essence of technology.
At Eternity Law International, we specialize in supporting agreements related to AI development and implementation: from SaaS agreements and licensing deals to flexible partnership structuring. Our goal is not just to write a contract, but to provide a legal foundation for the long-term and safe development of your technology. We provide full-fledged Legal Support, which covers all stages of working with AI solutions, including auditing, contract adaptation and support during negotiations. We pay special attention to startup legal support, as young companies often need particular flexibility in conditions of rapid market change.
AI in the contract is not just a mention, but a serious commitment
One of the biggest challenges is understanding that a contract involving AI cannot be standard. If your project uses a machine learning system or generative AI, this imposes completely new requirements. Here it is no longer enough to write down the general provisions on the provision of services. It is necessary to clearly define how technology works, what data it processes, how it learns, what limitations it has. The contract should specify, in particular, access to the code, algorithms, responsibility for the accuracy of the results, as well as the limits of using the system in commercial activities. This is especially important in the field of AI contracts, which should be flexible, but at the same time as specific as possible.
Who owns AI-generated results?
This question is often a stumbling block. If an AI algorithm creates images, texts or even program code, then who owns these results? From a legal point of view, this is not such an obvious thing. Ownership of the result needs to be clearly regulated. In traditional SaaS agreements, the provider remains the owner, and the client receives a license to use it. But in the case of generative AI, the picture becomes more complicated. It is necessary to determine whether the customer has the right to commercially use the created product, whether he has an exclusive right to such products, and whether the intellectual property of third parties is not violated. That is why we recommend fixing all the nuances in the contract from the very beginning – from ownership to the possibility of transferring rights to the results. It is no less important to regulate the issue of using ready-made software developed with the involvement of Artificial Intelligence. In the conditions of the new generation of digital solutions, this issue is more acute than ever.
Data, Ethics and Risks: What Else to Consider
One of the most vulnerable points in any AI-based project is data. AI learns from large amounts of information, often including personal or confidential data. This automatically raises questions about GDPR, Privacy Policy and general regulatory compliance. How exactly is this data processed? Can we guarantee that the system does not misuse the information? Who is responsible in case of violation of third-party rights? In addition, we are faced with ethical aspects: for example, what to do if AI makes decisions that discriminate against users or have hidden biases? Here, it is important not only to protect oneself legally, but also to lay transparent algorithms in the technology work process itself.
It is advisable to provide for the possibility of auditing the system, the obligations of the parties to update the model, the rules for using third-party data and a response policy in case of errors or violations in the contract. All this should be stated clearly but precisely. And this is exactly what our approach at Eternity Law International is aimed at. We combine modern ideas about Artificial Intelligence with legal requirements, practical experience in legal negotiation, as well as detailed knowledge of regulations.
Proper structuring of partnerships and SaaS agreements
SaaS agreements, licensing deals and partnership structuring require not only technical understanding, but also strategic legal thinking. If the parties plan to jointly develop or exchange licenses, it is important to fix the scope of responsibilities, profit distribution, exit mechanisms, and rules for transferring technologies and results. We specialize in structuring such partnerships, focused on flexibility, transparency, and protecting the interests of all participants. Given the rapid growth of interest in AI deployment, as well as the emergence of new formats, such as virtual reality, the legal registration of cooperation must meet the realities of today. In the era of a new generation of startups working with advanced technology, startup legal support is becoming not just an option, but a mandatory element of the strategy. Young companies creating breakthrough products often do not have their own lawyer, but need a competent legal structure. Our team helps startups avoid legal pitfalls at the start and lay the foundation for further scaling.
