Q
Why is AI governance training important for employees?
AI governance training ensures employees understand how to use artificial intelligence responsibly, comply with data privacy and intellectual property laws, and avoid costly legal and reputational risks. Courts and regulators are increasingly scrutinizing AI usage, and companies that lack employee awareness expose themselves to liability.
Q
What legal risks do employees face when using AI tools at work?
Employees risk exposing their employer to trade secret theft, copyright infringement, or data privacy violations when using AI tools without guidance. For example, entering confidential information into a public AI platform could be treated as an unauthorized disclosure under trade secret laws.
Q
Can AI-generated content violate copyright law?
Yes. If an AI tool generates code, images, or text that is substantially similar to a protected work, your company could be liable for copyright infringement. Employees need to follow company AI policies to ensure proper attribution, licensing, and review processes are in place.
Q
How can AI misuse put trade secrets at risk?
Entering client lists, proprietary code, or confidential strategies into a generative AI system may strip that information of trade secret protection. Courts require companies to show they took reasonable steps to safeguard secrets — careless AI use could undermine those protections permanently.
Q
What policies should companies adopt for safe AI use?
Best practices include clear AI governance policies that prohibit uploading confidential data, require employee training on intellectual property risks, and establish review checkpoints before deploying AI outputs. Regulators and courts often look to whether a company had documented safeguards in place.
