OpenAI’s new AI consulting offering raises questions of trust, strategy

AI Briefing

• – OpenAI's new venture raises questions of trust and control as it deploys AI systems into organizations, with experts warning of the need for clear contractual boundaries and governance disclosure to prevent sensitive access and ensure accountability.
• – The new entity's complex ownership structure and lack of transparency may lead to a 'gap' between headline control and contractual control, making it essential for CIOs to carefully evaluate and govern the deployment of AI systems.
• – CIOs need to consider the 'privilege' of FDEs, who redesign workflows, connect models to data and tools, and gain intimate knowledge of an organization's processes, and ensure that their access and authority are clearly defined and governed.
