Professional Services AI

Your consultants, lawyers, and auditors are using AI — but the governance documents that cover your relationship with them were written before personal AI subscriptions existed at scale. OpenAI launched a deployment company with Bain, McKinsey, and Goldman as founding partners. EY runs 130,000 Assurance professionals on Microsoft AI while selling AI advisory. Consultants are submitting confidential client data to personal ChatGPT accounts not covered by firm-level data processing agreements. The governance questions enterprise legal and procurement teams have not yet answered — about NDA coverage, data processing agreements, and advisory conflicts of interest — are the subject of every memo in this category.
