AR Intelligence Snapshot

A common question that comes up in client inquiries or in AR community conversations is:

Is it safe to use genAI chatbots for AR? I mean, doesn't everything you enter immediately go into the public domain? I don't want to accidentally leak private company information and analyst insights into those public models.

A surprising number of analyst relations (AR) professionals – and even their tech-savvy colleagues – aren’t aware that many paid chatbot services do let you opt out of having your content used to train their models. Even more surprising? In several cases, the default for paid versions is private – you just have to know where to look.

  • What’s the difference between free vs. paid versions when it comes to data privacy?

  • How can you stay ahead of Terms of Service changes that might quietly change your privacy settings?

Not all chatbots are created equal – some protect your data, others… not so much. Scroll down to the quick-reference guide to see who does what (and how to adjust your settings).

The rise of AI isn't threatening AR's existence – it's elevating its strategic importance.
