# AI Is Rewriting the Rules of Third-Party Risk

Vendor AI risk is a fast-growing blind spot in the enterprise AI portfolio. 70% of organizations are still building out how they evaluate it, even as 80% of enterprise software vendors are embedding AI into products already running across the business.

This whitepaper gives cross-functional teams a concrete framework for evaluating third-party AI: what the five risk categories are, what good vendor disclosure looks like, and how to maintain oversight as vendor AI evolves between formal reviews.

We also cover:

- Why the same vendor can present completely different risk profiles depending on use case
- The transparency signals that separate vendors worth trusting from those worth scrutinizing
- How Trustible structures third-party AI oversight in practice
