Mitigation strategy
1. Establish a mandatory Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) clearance protocol for all AI-generated outputs intended for external use, verifying originality, adherence to internal IP policy, and absence of infringing content, and maintaining an immutable audit trail of the human verifier and the content's provenance. 2. Develop and enforce a comprehensive internal Intellectual Property Policy (IPP) that explicitly outlines compliance requirements for copyright, trade secret, and trademark laws, coupled with mandatory, recurring employee training on permissible AI tool usage, data security, and the risks of proprietary information disclosure. 3. Secure enterprise-grade licensing agreements for all third-party AI platforms, ensuring contractual provisions for clear IP ownership of generated outputs, robust warranties against infringement from training data, and sufficient indemnification clauses to mitigate post-deployment legal and financial liability.
