This Checklist highlights the key procurement, licensing and contractual issues relevant to artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) solutions. Depending on the specific application, the inclusion of AI may mean adding simple automated functionality, through to creating a complex, intelligent tool controlled by either a third party or by the customer.

This Checklist assumes that the AI will be capable of an element of learning and that, as such, one or both of the parties will be involved in training it.

For a discussion of methodologies for the management of risks and challenges that might arise during the deployment of AI technology, see News Analysis: Understanding and managing the risks in artificial intelligence (AI) technology projects.

General issues related to software development and licensing, systems integration, outsourcing and software support services may also be relevant, depending on the solution, but are not highlighted in this Checklist. For more, see Practice Notes:
