Reviewing SaaS agreements in the age of AI

The development and implementation of AI-powered tools, including in SaaS platforms, have experienced a meteoric rise over the course of the last year. Businesses are understandably looking to realize competitive advantages from leveraging these new AI technologies, but adding AI to a tech stack can present serious risks related to bias, data ownership, privacy, accuracy and cybersecurity. As with many new tools, an organization’s procurement team is its first line of defense in de-risking AI, and AI literacy is essential in this process. Fortunately, while AI presents unique issues and considerations, the incorporation of AI into SaaS does not require a wholly novel SaaS agreement. Nevertheless, there are key provisions that must be considered carefully to meaningfully address the new risks and issues triggered by the incorporation of AI and the nascent state of the law and contract norms in this space. With this in mind, we have addressed below a number of key provisions that should be front and center in this analysis.
