As businesses connect AI applications with databases, APIs, and other enterprise data sources, how should personally identifiable information (PII) be handled throughout the data pipeline?
Sensitive information can appear in source records, API responses, retrieved documents, prompts, or other data passed to an AI model. Should organizations identify and transform PII before it reaches the AI system, or should protection happen at another stage of the workflow?
I’m also interested in how teams balance privacy with data quality. If names, email addresses, account information, or other identifiers are removed or anonymized, how can the AI still retain enough context to produce useful results?
