What’s the big deal with AI and machine learning?

In light of the rapid rise in the use of AI to supplement products and services, the Common Paper Committee chose to include a basic clause to permit training of AI and machine learning models. The idea was to enable companies to enable new features in their products and services. However, training of machine learning models remains a hot topic in the legal industry and tech sector, much like how usage data was treated 10-15 years ago. If your product does not include any AI or machine learning elements, or if you don’t plan to use customer data to train models, it may be more expedient to remove the clause entirely.

What is a Cloud Service Agreement?

A Cloud Service Agreement, or CSA, is a contract used to sell cloud software and SaaS products. The CSA specifies business terms like fees and length as well as legal terms like liability and indemnification.

Master Services Agreement, or MSA, is another name for this type of contract. The main difference between them is that an MSA might be used for the sale of all kinds of products and services, from software to catering to consulting. The term CSA is more specific and narrow, while MSA is more generic and wide-ranging.
