Questionnaire

Educational tool, not legal advice. Outputs are starting points and must be reviewed by a qualified professional before use. Rules vary by jurisdiction and change often.

Questions

Why does vendor due diligence matter for lawyers?

ABA Formal Opinion 512 indicates lawyers should understand how a generative AI tool handles client information, which includes reviewing the vendor’s terms of use and privacy and security practices, and supervisory duties extend to third-party services.

What counts as a red flag?

Vague answers about training on your data, no independent security attestation, no source links for legal answers, no export option, and commitments that appear only on marketing pages rather than in the contract.
