Key Insight: Ask About Training Data

The single most important due diligence question you can ask an AI vendor is: does your system train on our employee data? Many vendors use customer data to improve their models by default. If your employees' performance reviews, compensation details, or personal information are being fed back into a shared model, you face serious privacy, compliance, and competitive risks.

Always request a written guarantee that your data is isolated, not used for model training, and can be fully deleted upon contract termination. This should be a non-negotiable requirement in your vendor agreements.
