A recent piece by TechTarget explored how enterprise AI adoption raises growing concerns around data ownership, with experts calling for stronger governance, clearer contracts and stricter safeguards to protect enterprise data. Kristie Grinnell, CIO and Executive Vice President at TD SYNNEX, stresses the importance of clearly defining AI data categories and embedding those definitions in contracts, controls and governance practices:
“The confusion starts when we treat all AI-related data as if it’s the same thing. The organizations that are getting this right are taking the time upfront to define categories such as customer data, prompts, outputs, logs, training data and derived data, then ensuring those definitions carry through into their contracts, controls and governance practices.”
