Companies that are struggling to find the right place to deploy new AI tech should consider use cases involving “voice of the customer” applications — parsing, interpreting, and responding to customer input from all different channels.

The IP you bring into an engagement is yours to take out. The client can’t prohibit you from using your own IP elsewhere and in the future. What the client brings to the engagement is the client’s and you can’t use it elsewhere without approval. What you create together is “work product” and belongs to the client. Be careful about lawyers who want to bar you from using your own proprietary material because you’re using it in their organization.
