Artificial Intelligence is transforming the workplace, but are you unknowingly putting your company’s intellectual property at risk? This session explores how organizations can balance innovation with security, helping to ensure that confidential data, copyrighted materials, and proprietary information remain protected.

Experts from SAI360 and Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) will break down the risks of using generative AI tools, provide actionable strategies for safeguarding intellectual property, and share insights from recent industry research.

Join us for an education session featuring real-world examples, expert advice, and practical steps to help you and your team navigate AI responsibly.

Key Takeaways:

  • AI is Not a Safe Colleague
    • While AI tools can enhance productivity, they should not be treated like human coworkers. Uploading confidential, proprietary, or copyrighted materials into public generative AI systems poses significant risks.
  • AI Systems Retain and Use Data
    • Many AI platforms store and analyze inputs, which can lead to unintentional exposure of sensitive information. Without strict privacy controls, proprietary data entered into AI tools may be used to train models, increasing the risk of misuse.
  • Organizations Must Implement Safeguards
    • Companies need clear policies around AI use, including legal and IT reviews, privacy policies, NDAs, watermarking sensitive content, and adopting secure AI solutions to protect intellectual property.
  • Training and Awareness Are Essential
    • Employees must be educated on AI risks and best practices. Regular training sessions, internal guidelines, and monitoring for unauthorized use of intellectual property are crucial to maintaining compliance and security.
