Why Personally identifiable information matters when licensing company data to AI

Personally identifiable information, or PII, is information that can identify a person directly or in combination, such as names, emails, account numbers, faces or voices. Before business records are licensed, PII is usually removed or handled under a lawful basis. In practice, the team scans fields, free text and attachments for it, then reviews samples to confirm nothing was missed.
