Section 1
The premise
AI can draft an AI-specific vendor questionnaire grounded in your actual risk surface, but procurement and security must own the cutoff criteria.
What AI does well here
- Draft questionnaire sections for training data, eval coverage, subprocessors, and incident history.
- Generate red-flag scoring rubrics for vendor responses.
What AI cannot do
- Decide whether a vendor's response is acceptable given your risk appetite.
- Negotiate contract addenda.
