Nauti's Take

For teams, this is mainly a control issue. As AI vendors push further into hardware, operating systems, and device integration, supplier access, partner relationships, and internal security rules become strategic.

Before testing new AI hardware or tight platform integrations, verify who can access product, usage, and development data.
