- How safe is Perplexity for corporate training & L&D?
- The maker of Perplexity publishes little about data protection. Ask about this before you put confidential corporate training & L&D data into it. The provider publishes little on this, ask about it before business use.
- Does Perplexity train on my data?

- What should I look out for with AI in corporate training & L&D?
- Learning platforms process employees' personal data: progress, assessment results, recordings of role-plays and sometimes evaluations. Sign a data processing agreement, ask where the data is stored and which language models and sub-processors sit behind it (often OpenAI or Azure OpenAI), and insist that your course material and learning data are not used to train models. Do not upload confidential company information to a free chatbot to build a course from it. If you use an AI avatar or a cloned voice of a real colleague, record written consent. Do not let AI independently assess or select employees for roles: AI systems that influence decisions about workers or access to training can be high-risk under the EU AI Act, and AI literacy for staff has been mandatory since February 2025. Check AI-generated course content for factual errors before you publish it.
