AI Risk Disclosure & Governance

Why does AI risk disclosure matter for organizations?

What privacy concerns should be addressed in AI disclosure protocols?
Privacy is a major concern in AI disclosure. PRSA specifically cautions against using public AI tools for sensitive client information due to the multiplied risks of data privacy breaches when proprietary information enters third-party systems. Disclosure protocols must address not only what AI is doing but also how client data is being protected throughout the process.
