Mitigation strategy
1. Establish a robust AI governance framework, including clear, cross-functional internal policies and mandatory employee training on acceptable use to prevent unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets and to ensure compliance with third-party IP rights and licensing agreements. 2. Conduct mandatory, systematic Intellectual Property (IP) audits and Freedom-to-Operate (FTO) searches prior to new product launches or AI system deployment to proactively identify and mitigate infringement risks, including evaluating the copyright compliance of AI model training data and outputs. 3. Implement continuous monitoring and enforcement mechanisms, utilizing advanced AI-driven systems to track the organization's IP assets against infringement in the competitive and digital landscape, and deploy input/output filtering to prevent the unintentional generation or disclosure of IP-protected content.
