With the rapid rise of artificial intelligence adoption, professionals are increasingly finding AI-related contracting landing on their desks. Whether it is GDPR, the AI Act, the Data Act, DORA or NIS2, these regulatory frameworks introduce complex contractual obligations and risks that can be difficult to align. This workshop dives into the practical realities of contracting with third-party AI vendors and developers. Through fictional cross-industry case studies, our expert speakers will unpack key legal and operational considerations, offering actionable tips to mitigate risk and ensure compliance. This workshop will walk through how to address contractual requirements related to topics such as data sharing and usage, liability, transparency, security and portability. Delegates will learn which questions to ask, how to identify contractual pain points, and practical do’s and don’ts to address and cover risk.

What you will learn:

• The intersections of EU digital laws from a contractual perspective and how to address risk in contracts.
• The right questions to ask when developing/updating contractual agreements, whether as the customer or vendor.
• How to negotiate and structure AI contracts, and practical do’s and don’ts to address and cover risk.
