Steps to reproduce:
1. Create new Unity project using High Definition 3D Template
2. Press AI button on the top Editor toolbar and press “Agree and install Unity AI” button
3. Wait for package to finish installing and observe the Console

Actual results: Errors are thrown in the Console window

Expected results: No errors thrown in the Console window

Can’t test with versions: 6000.0.65f1 (No AI packages)
