Negotiating AI Provisions in Commercial and Technology Contracts: Where the Market Is Heading
Two years ago AI clauses were an afterthought, but today’s enterprise deployments demand contracts that reflect the technology’s autonomy. The traditional SaaS model—where vendors host the model and buyers merely access it—assumed human oversight at every decision point. With agentic AI now executing tasks, organizations are re‑evaluating liability, service levels, and governance, prompting a market‑wide shift toward more granular, outcome‑based agreements. The new norm emphasizes detailed service definitions, performance warranties, IP ownership, regulatory compliance, and transition terms.
