AI data privacy is the practice of protecting personal and sensitive information as it flows into, through, and out of AI systems, including what data a model is trained on, what it retains, and what it might reveal.
Why It Matters
AI tools often process data in ways that are harder to audit than traditional systems, a prompt, a document, a customer record, may be retained, logged, or used for future model training depending on a vendor’s specific terms, which most users never review closely.
A Practical Example
Before allowing employees to use a new AI writing tool, an organization reviews the vendor’s data retention policy and confirms customer data entered into the tool will not be used to train the vendor’s models.
