Risk with client data
“We have no clear rules for what can go into AI tools.”
Without clear rules, people either avoid AI or put confidential customer data into tools that should not see it. Simple guidelines on data classes, approved tools and review steps let teams use AI safely.
Why it happens
Cause 1
No data classification for commercial data
Cause 2
No approved tool list
Cause 3
No training
