A systems administrator is using a public, third-party AI chat service to help debug a complex Bash script. The script contains embedded private IP addresses and access credentials for a staging environment. What is the primary data governance concern when pasting the full script into the AI service?
The submitted data may be used to train the provider's Large Language Model (LLM) or be viewed by the provider's staff, risking unintentional data exposure.
The AI service will automatically redact all sensitive data before processing the request to protect user privacy.
The AI service could inject malicious code into the script's output, creating a backdoor on the server.
Using a public AI for this purpose violates the GNU General Public License under which Bash is distributed.
The correct answer addresses the primary data governance risk: the potential for sensitive information to be absorbed into the AI model's training data or viewed by human reviewers. Public AI services often use customer data submitted to consumer-facing tools to improve their models unless a specific enterprise or private-tier service with different data handling policies is used. While an AI might generate insecure code, the question focuses on the risk of the input data itself, not the output. Public AIs do not reliably or automatically redact sensitive information, and this should never be assumed. The license of the Bash interpreter (GPL) is irrelevant to where a user pastes script text they have written.
