The premise
Most teams collect more than they need 'just in case.' AI can audit a collection plan against stated purposes and propose cuts.
What AI does well here
- Map each data field to a stated purpose.
- Flag fields with no clear purpose.
- Suggest retention windows by field type.
What AI cannot do
- Decide what regulators require you to keep.
- Replace your privacy counsel's review.
- Predict every future use case.
