AIGP Understanding How to Govern AI Deployment and Use Medium

With regulatory exposure and unassigned fault, the liability and indemnification terms are the priority to clarify.

The question

A company is licensing a third-party AI model whose errors could cause regulatory exposure, but the draft agreement is silent on who bears responsibility if the model produces unlawful outputs. Reviewing the contract, which term should the deployer most prioritize clarifying given this concern?

  1. The vendor's preferred invoicing schedule and the accepted payment methods for the recurring annual model licensing fees each year.
    Plausible as a commercial term, but payment logistics do not address who bears responsibility for unlawful outputs.
  2. The color-scheme and branding guidelines governing how the vendor's logo may appear within the company's interface.
    Plausible as a licensing clause, but branding usage is immaterial to the liability and compliance risk described.
  3. The allocation of liability and indemnification for harms or non-compliance arising from the licensed model's outputs and defects.
    Correct because when regulatory exposure hinges on unassigned responsibility, clarifying liability and indemnification is the key contractual risk to resolve.
  4. The vendor's internal office hours and the time zone from which its support engineers respond to routine tickets.
    Plausible as a service detail, but support scheduling does not resolve the accountability gap for harmful outputs.
The trap
Prioritizing routine commercial terms over the liability and indemnification clauses that allocate risk.
