Trace Where Information Goes in Connected GenAI
Explore how to trace information flow in connected GenAI workflows, identifying each exposure point from prompt to downstream outputs. Understand the importance of documenting unknowns in data retention, logging, and processing to make informed decisions on AI use and ensure secure handling in DoD and federal environments.
A team can ask the same question in two GenAI setups and get the same-looking answer. One setup is a standalone chat where the user pastes only what they typed. The other is a chat that can search internal sources, read shared drives, or look up tickets. The mistake is treating those two setups as equally safe because the prompt text looks identical.
A prompt is only the visible start of the workflow. In a connected setup, the tool can pull in other material, store intermediate traces, and create outputs that get copied onward. That is why a reviewer cares about a data exposure path, meaning the route information can travel and be kept, not just what a user remembers typing. ...
