Practical Legal Guidance for AI Adoption

Pruvent PLLC helps businesses adopt artificial intelligence without creating legal exposure. The firm advises on AI vendor terms and data-use rights, internal AI use policies and "shadow AI" risk, confidentiality and privilege issues raised by employee AI use, AI-related provisions in commercial contracts, and the growing body of state and federal rules that apply to AI. Pruvent uses AI in its own practice and writes regularly about AI legal risk, so its guidance reflects how these tools are used inside real businesses.

Practical Legal Guidance for AI Adoption

Is AI already regulated in the United States?

Yes. AI is regulated today through a growing mix of state statutes and existing laws on privacy, discrimination, and consumer protection that apply to AI-driven decisions. Businesses using AI in hiring, healthcare, marketing, or customer service should assess their compliance obligations now.

Can uploading documents into AI tools breach our contracts?

It can. Uploading a counterparty's confidential information into a consumer AI platform may violate nondisclosure agreements, master service agreements, and data handling provisions, and can jeopardize trade secret protection and attorney-client privilege. Pruvent helps clients set AI use policies that prevent these breaches.

What is an AI use policy, and does my company need one?

An AI use policy defines which AI tools employees may use, what data may be entered into them, and who approves new tools. Any company whose employees have access to generative AI benefits from one, because unsanctioned "shadow AI" use creates substantial legal and compliance risk.

Will Pruvent review an AI vendor's terms and system documentation?

Yes. Pruvent reviews AI vendor terms, data-use provisions, and system documentation such as model cards, and advises on the gaps those documents leave open. This is a recurring topic in the firm's AI Landmines article series.
