<h1>Legal risks of buying AI-powered project management tools: data protection, vendor liability, IP, warranties, SLAs, and compliance measures</h1> Organizations are rapidly procuring AI-enhanced project management software, raising legal issues around data protection, cybersecurity obligations, vendor liability, and regulatory compliance as tools process sensitive budgets, contracts, and client data. Procurement decisions driven by AI features heighten contract-negotiation risks-warranties, indemnities, SLAs, and IP ownership for AI outputs require clear allocation. Skills and integration gaps increase operational risk and potential regulatory exposure from misuse or erroneous automation. Legal mitigation should include due diligence on vendor security and AI transparency, robust contractual protections, incident-response plans, employee training mandates, and compliance with applicable data-transfer and sector-specific rules.
