  • Contracting for AI – latest market practice
    Mar 18 2026

    In this episode, Vik Khurana and William White break down how the rise of generative and agentic AI is reshaping technology contracting. Mapping practice across traditional IT, gen AI and agentic AI, they offer practical guidance on IP ownership, performance risk, liability frameworks and negotiation strategy – cutting through the uncertainty for anyone negotiating AI deals. In particular:

    • How AI-generated outputs and autonomous agent workflows are complicating data and IP ownership models
    • New approaches to performance warranties as AI systems shift from deterministic to probabilistic
    • Liability caps, IP indemnities and why agentic AI disclaimers deserve extra scrutiny

  • Agentic AI – liability and risk
    Feb 3 2026

    In this episode, Vik Khurana and Naomi Foale explain agentic AI – the features that distinguish it from GenAI, the ‘modes of failure’ that mean risks arise differently, and the potential liability and risk issues that could arise and how those are likely to be allocated between the different players and moving parts involved in agentic systems.
