Why Data licensing matters when licensing company data to AI
Data licensing grants a buyer specific rights to a dataset while the supplier keeps ownership of its original records. Negotiation covers the scope of the license: permitted and prohibited uses, term, exclusivity, security, deletion and fees. Reviewing these terms before anything is released makes clear what the buyer may and may not do with the records.
