After completing model testing and validation, the most important step prior to deploying the model into production is to perform a readiness assessment. This assessment ensures that the model is fully prepared for deployment, addressing any potential issues related to infrastructure, performance, security, and compliance. It verifies that the model meets all necessary criteria for a successful launch. Other steps, such as defining a model-validation methodology, documenting maintenance teams and processes, and identifying known edge cases, are also important but come secondary to confirming overall readiness.

Data aggregators are third parties that collect and license data from various sources. They are responsible for ensuring thelawful collectionandproper usage rightsof the data they distribute — especially when such data is used to train foundational AI models.

From theAI Governance in Practice Report2025:

“As organizations have neither proximity to how third-party data was first collected nor direct control over the data governance practices of third parties, an organization can benefit from carrying out its own legal due diligence and third-party risk management.” (p. 19)

“Legal due diligence may include verification of the personal data's lawful collection by the databroker...” (p. 19)

This confirms thatdata aggregatorsbear the legal and ethical burden to verify that data has been lawfully collected and is appropriately licensed for use, including in AI training.

A. The marketing agencyandD. its clientmay use data, but they rely on upstream providers for its lawful origin.

B. The tech companymay train the model but depends on lawful sourcing by data aggregators.

The primary concern for a company adopting a policy prohibiting the use of generative AI is the risk of accidental disclosure of confidential and proprietary information. Generative AI tools can inadvertently leak sensitive data during the creation process or through data sharing. This risk outweighs the other reasons listed, as protecting sensitive information is critical to maintaining the company’s competitive edge and legal compliance. This rationale is discussed in the sections on risk management and data privacy in the IAPP AIGP Body of Knowledge.

Ensuringoversight and auditabilityrequires that the organization hassufficient access to data, documentation, and model internalsor outputs necessary for evaluation.

From theAI Governance in Practice Report2025:

“Access to technical documentation and system internals is essential to enable effective auditing, conformity checks, and accountability mechanisms.” (p. 11, 34)
