Where do you draw the line, is the context as generic as "AI" or "ML", implying that anything AI related, even if not directly comparable to your employers product is owned by the employer?


I mean I would personally say it's anything directly in the employer's lines of business with a fairly limited scope. But as personal advice I wouldn't recommend others to do anything with AI on the side, with the intention to own it, if they work in AI as a career.


I find your last sentence troubling, all the cost is on the individual.

I agree with the sentiment of the first sentence, if we simply say the blast radius is the the product(s) level you're working on.


> all the cost is on the individual

And all the salary too. I really don't see the issue.


It is. Employer reach is too far. And yet, having some reach is still very reasonable.
