Paul Barnhurst discusses a contractual clause that bans AI use on client data entirely, even secure systems and Excel add-ins. Some companies impose absolute lockdowns on data for security reasons, which affects how data teams can work.
It was Chris Riley. He shared on LinkedIn the other week that one of the contracts he signed, basically right in the contract, he had to agree for some modeling he was doing that none of their data could touch AI regardless of what security you had. That was just their policy. You could not use AI on the model. You could use AI to help you with something, but you couldn't give it any of the data. You couldn't even use Excel add-ins because they'd get the data. It was 100% locked down. So there's definitely times for security reasons, whatever those reasons are for different companies.
