Good news — but governance doesn't stop at the terms of service.
A green rating means this tool's policies are user-favorable. That's a strong start. But safe tools can still be used unsafely. How your team prompts, what data they share, and how outputs are managed are equally important. Barbieri Technology Group helps professional services firms build the internal AI playbooks that turn good tools into great outcomes.
