Answer.
A general counsel typically assesses the vendor's confidentiality and data-use terms, whether inputs train the model, security posture, the tool's reliability and error profile, and how the firm will supervise and verify output — mapping to the competence, confidentiality, and supervision duties in Opinion 512 and state guidance.
