Over the past six months, the public availability and widespread use of various generative artificial intelligence (Generative AI) AI solutions, such as Chat GPT or Bard, has presented numerous legal, technical and ethical considerations across most every industry and geography region.  Given the potential for widespread use, it is important for organizations to understand key issues and best practices surrounding use of Generative AI solutions in developing policies and assessing legal, technical and business strategies related to Generative AI.  Specifically, what does it mean when your company’s employees use these powerful tools in their daily work?  Come learn how these tools are being used/misused and what is at risk if your employees use these tools with your proprietary information or use the results in new products or marketing without considering the risks.  Using Open AI’s current terms of service as a case study, our discussion will include a review of the availability of trade secret, copyright and patent protection based on outputs generated by Generative AI services and how to formulate workable policies for your workplace.
