Sorting data tiers to prevent AI leaks

Data engineer Farida Khalaf classifies information into three tiers to prevent sensitive data from leaking into AI models. Red data, including passwords, government IDs, and health records, must never enter an AI tool because these inputs often persist in vendor logs for the entire retention period. Amber data, such as confidential client contracts and internal financial files, requires an approved business plan with strict audit logging and data residency configurations to maintain control. Green data, consisting of public research and generic templates, remains generally safe for most AI applications, provided training features are disabled.
