AI Risk Clause – Shiny Trust Breach

Purpose:
This clause addresses the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into vendor ecosystems and highlights the risks posed by adversarial AI exploitation.

Clause Statement

All third-party integrations and SaaS trust relationships must include AI risk assessment and governance controls.
Vendors are required to:

  1. Disclose AI Usage – Any reliance on AI for authentication, monitoring, or anomaly detection must be documented.
  2. Assess Adversarial Risk – Vendors must demonstrate mitigation strategies for adversarial AI misuse (e.g., AI-assisted brute force, automated API enumeration).
  3. Continuous Review – AI-related controls must be tested quarterly to identify emergent risks.
  4. Zero-Trust Alignment – AI-driven decisions cannot bypass deny-by-default access models.
  5. Incident Reporting – Vendors must notify within 24 hours if AI models used in trust workflows are compromised or exploited.
