Mitigation strategy
1. Negotiate and execute enterprise-grade license agreements with AI platform providers to establish explicit, indemnified ownership and usage rights for all AI-generated outputs and to protect against third-party infringement claims. 2. Institute a comprehensive, cross-functional internal AI Governance Policy that mandates the rigorous vetting of all AI tools, clarifies acceptable use parameters, and requires legal review prior to the commercialization of AI-generated content. 3. Develop and enforce meticulous documentation standards to record the substantial creative contribution of human users to AI outputs, ensuring a clear nexus of authorship or inventorship for potential IP protection under existing legal frameworks.
