ai-apps privacy data-governance terms-of-service grading transparency

Summary

A study graded 205 AI apps on their data governance practices, finding that over half received a D or F grade, with many apps not disclosing whether user input trains their models.

This "how do we trust which AI apps to use" question has been asked a few times so we build it openly. It's a list that grades apps based on their data governance practices (checked using their terms of service and privacy policy files). Then scored them. The interesting piece is that only 23% got an A or B. The bottom half is all D and F :) Half of them don't mention whether your input trains their models or not. 14% limit training or give you an opt-out you can point to. 1 in 3 had a clause we flagged as a "dealbreaker" (the details of dealbreakers are mentioned in the methodology page). one of the biggest dealbreakers are the data retention. Most keep indefinitely. Link in the comments.
