ISM-Chicago: Negotiating the AI Terms That Matter: From the Contract Table to the Mediation Table
Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming part of nearly every procurement relationship, yet many of the most important AI contract terms are negotiated without a full understanding of how they'll actually operate when something goes wrong. This interactive session will help procurement professionals identify and negotiate the AI-related contract provisions that matter most.
Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of which AI provisions to negotiate, why those provisions matter, and how they can impact the organization when the vendor relationship is tested. They will also gain practical experience in mediation, dispute resolution, and interest-based negotiation, skills that strengthen their effectiveness as both procurement professionals and strategic business partners.
