AI Compliance – Who's Gonna Keep You Out of Hot Water?
You can't cut your workforce with AI and pretend the lawyers won't notice. Whether it's GDPR, HIPAA, or some acronym the compliance team just invented, you're still on the hook. If the platform you choose can't prove it's compliant, your cost savings could turn into a class-action lawsuit.
Microsoft
Microsoft checks every box and has the receipts to prove it. GDPR? Covered. HIPAA? Covered. FedRAMP? You bet. They don't just meet the standards—they shape them. If you want a partner that won't make your legal team twitch, this is it.
Google has a strong compliance game, but you'll need to dig into the fine print. Their certifications are solid, but applying them across your specific use case might take some work. And don't expect them to hold your hand through the audit process.
Salesforce
Salesforce is compliant where it matters most to them—CRM and customer data. But when you start pushing into AI-driven workforce operations, things get fuzzier. You'll need to verify whether each module in their stack is actually audit-ready or just riding the brand wave.
Open-Source
There's no such thing as built-in compliance with open-source. You're the compliance officer now. Good luck explaining to regulators how a patch from GitHub qualifies as risk mitigation.
Startups
Startups are too busy chasing runway to chase certifications. Even if they say "we're compliant," it often means they're thinking about doing it someday. That doesn't fly when regulators show up with questions.
