AI agents — autonomous systems capable of planning, deciding, and acting independently across complex, multi-step tasks — are rapidly transforming the way businesses operate, and their adoption is accelerating at a pace that is outrunning the legal frameworks designed to govern them.

This webinar will examine the powerful forces fueling the rise of AI agents, from breakthroughs in large language model reasoning and tool-use capabilities, to enterprise demand for automation, reduced operational costs, and round-the-clock productivity without human intervention. But as AI agents are increasingly trusted to act for users,  a host of urgent legal questions follow close behind — including questions of agency and authority (can an AI legally bind a party to a contract?), liability allocation when an autonomous agent causes harm or makes a costly error, data privacy risks arising from agents that access and process vast amounts of sensitive information, intellectual property exposure from agent-generated content and decisions, and the regulatory compliance challenges posed by agents operating across jurisdictions. This webinar will identify the problems and practical strategies for managing AI agent risk, including governance frameworks, contractual protections, acceptable use policies, human oversight mechanisms, and emerging best practices for responsible AI agent deployment that can be implemented today, even in the absence of settled law.

Learning Objectives:

  • Develop an Understanding of AI Agents and Why Their Use is Surging
  • Learn About AI Agent Liability Issues
  • Comprehend and Learn How to Manage Legal and Regulatory Risks with AI Agents
