Artificial intelligence tools are now embedded in professional services across nearly every industry, but most business contracts still say nothing about how AI can be used, who owns the output, or who pays when something goes wrong. That silence is not neutral – it is an open liability. This piece breaks down exactly what an AI contract clause needs to cover, including disclosure obligations, IP ownership, data privacy restrictions, and liability allocation. It compares DIY template approaches against attorney-drafted language, walks through a five-step action plan for auditing and updating current agreements, and answers the most common questions business owners are asking in 2026. Washington State-specific legal context is included throughout, with practical guidance on what to prepare before a contract review.
