IP and Security.

Most founders are already putting customer data, code and business plans into AI tools. Very few have checked what happens to it after they hit enter. This hour is about where your data goes, who owns what you build with AI, and what enterprise buyers will ask you about it. Check the settings on the tools you use, then draft a one-page AI use policy you can share with your team.

What we cover.

Current practice from people who deal with this every week. Not legal advice.

  1. 01

    Your plan matters more than your settings.

    Personal plans work differently from business and enterprise plans. Turning off "train on my data" isn't the whole story. What each tier covers, and when you need to move up.

  2. 02

    What's safe to put into AI.

    Which company, customer and sensitive information you can use with which tools, and what to keep out.

  3. 03

    Who owns what AI helps you make.

    Where your ideas and code stop being only yours, and why it matters more for a unique algorithm than for a new market idea.

  4. 04

    What enterprise buyers will ask you.

    SOC 2, security questionnaires, agreements with your AI vendors, and why any tool that processes your customers' data needs to be on that list.

  5. 05

    Agents aren't employees.

    If an agent deletes customer data, your business owns that. What to let an agent read, write or run, and why it should never touch production.

  6. 06

    Bots will poke at your product.

    Your users' AI tools will try to get around your guardrails to finish a task. The basics, like rate limits, before you ship an AI feature.
