Unit 7: Managing Vendor Risk – Compliance When You Don’t Own the Tool
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.
