Update the IP policy to address AI-generated output: What is the most appropriate governance response before
Update the existing IP policy to cover AI-output ownership and training-data use before deploying the tool.
The question
A company's intellectual-property policy predates generative AI and does not address ownership of AI-generated content or the use of third-party data in training. What is the most appropriate governance response before deploying a generative tool?

- Leave the IP policy unchanged, since content produced by an AI system falls outside all intellectual-property concernsPlausible but wrong: AI-generated content and training data raise real IP questions that the policy must address.
- Delete the existing IP policy entirely and rely on the AI vendor's terms of service to govern content ownershipPlausible but wrong: outsourcing IP governance to a vendor's terms abandons the company's own policy obligations.
- Update the IP policy to address AI-generated output ownership and lawful use of training data before deployment ✓Correct: the objective calls for evaluating and updating existing IP policy to cover AI before deployment.
- Defer any policy review until after deployment, addressing IP questions only if a dispute or complaint later arisesPlausible but wrong: waiting for a dispute is reactive; the policy gap should be closed before deployment.
The trap
Assuming AI-generated content and training data fall outside intellectual-property concerns. How to remember it
Update the existing IP policy to cover AI-output ownership and training-data use before deploying the tool.
