Your company may rely on third-party tools for hiring, support, analytics, or automation. But when something goes wrong — you are still accountable.

Key reasons to care:

  • AI vendors may use biased models or incomplete data

  • Tools may be black-box systems with no explainability

  • Incidents caused by third-party AI still impact your users and your brand

  • Regulators and stakeholders expect you to ensure ethical use

📌 Using AI from others doesn’t remove your duty to govern it.
