Legal departments are under increasing pressure to adapt to AI—but most contract playbooks were built for a pre-AI world. As AI becomes central to how products are designed, services are delivered, and decisions are made, that gap is widening fast.

Modern AI systems aren’t single tools. They’re multi-layered ecosystems that introduce new risks, dependencies, and governance challenges. To keep pace, legal teams must rethink how contracts are structured, where obligations attach, and how risk is allocated across the AI lifecycle.

Time to Rethink Contract Playbooks for the AI Era provides a clear, practical framework to help in-house legal leaders modernize their approach, align with emerging AI governance expectations, and support innovation—without compromising control.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to:

• Structure contracts across the AI stack—from inputs and models to outputs

• Rethink IP, usage rights, and ownership in AI-enabled environments

• Manage third- and fourth-party risk across complex AI supply chains

• Move from blanket restrictions to practical guardrails for responsible AI use

• Strengthen privacy and data governance clauses for AI-driven systems

• Calibrate liability and indemnity frameworks for probabilistic AI behavior
