AI for Small Business: Legal Risks and Ethical IP Guardrails

Event description

Generative AI, LLMs, Agentic AI, it all feels like the "Wild West." AI can boost productivity, help you create content, conduct research, and even draft contracts. But it can also leak your trade secrets when employees upload confidential data, create content you don't actually own, reproduce copyrighted material, or provide completely incorrect information that you then rely on to make business decisions, whether it's a bad contract, wrong legal advice, or flawed financial projections, you’re liable for the results. The good news? You don't need to avoid AI; you need guardrails. We'll discuss practical, simple steps your business can implement today: acceptable use policies that actually work, understanding which tools match your risk tolerance, and verification protocols that catch problems before they become liabilities.

The speakers will be John S. Pothier and Dylan C. Barrett of Embedded Counsel, PLLC
