Overview

Generative Artificial Intelligence captured everyone’s imagination when it launched in 2022, but it also creates opportunities for data leakage and inappropriate use of confidential data based on the terms of service. Unfortunately, everyone has clicked I agree on a Terms of Service or End User License Agreement document which they neither read nor understood. This course will review the standard terms embedded in these documents with thousands of words and incomprehensible terminology. Attend this course and learn what you wish you knew about analyzing and evaluating license agreements and privacy policies.
