Procuring AI represents an exciting opportunity for procurement to be at the forefront of delivering and driving innovation for their organisations. But new tech comes with unique challenges, and AI represents the next frontier.
Our penultimate webinar for the week focused on the considerations to take into account when procuring AI-powered tools. Speakers shared how they have created specific compliance processes to tackle the challenges, why the pricing structure is often different to SaaS, and explore how you measure value.
Discussion points included:
- Creating an AI compliance review process for procurement
- How to evaluate and measure the ROI of AI tools
- The unique challenges of contract management and pricing structures of AI tools
- Measuring the performance and service level agreements of AI
- Procurement's role as guardrail and enabler in AI adoption
- Data and IP ownership - who owns the outputs
