Protecting Your Agencys Data & IP in AI Acquisition: Complying with OMB M-25-22

The Office of Management and Budget Memorandum M-25-22 assigns new responsibilities to Federal agencies to safeguard intellectual property (IP) rights and government data in AI acquisitions. By October 20, agencies must update their acquisition policies and processes to clarify ownership, licensing, and data use in AI-related contracts.

Join Steffen Jacobsen, Senior Commercial Counsel for the Public Sector and Yejin Jang, Vice President of Government Affairs at Abnormal AI, for a practical session designed specifically for agency IT, acquisition, legal, and program officials.

What You'll Learn:

How agencies can meet OMB's new mandates on IP and data ownership
What rights must the government preserve when data is used to train or fine-tune AI systems
How to structure contracts to avoid vendor lock-in, with examples of terms that preserve agency flexibility
Which areas to prioritize in negotiations and which contract terms have less flexibility
How AI performance is measured and evaluated
Pitfalls to avoid in vendor negotiations and best practices for preserving agency priorities

The policies agencies shape today will determine the rules of engagement with AI vendors for years to come. By preparing ahead, your agency can reduce risk, strengthen bargaining power, and ensure long-term control over mission-critical AI systems.
