Frequently asked questions

Is any customer data used to train third-party AI models?

Thomson Reuters does not permit third-party AI models to retain or train on customer data. We have robust policies and standards to govern data and AI strategies, with dedicated programs to ensure the quality and proper use of AI and large-language models (LLM) within the organisation. We've adopted a set of AI and ethics principles, which are available on our AI @ Thomson Reuters website. 

What data does the AI utilise during its training process to mitigate hallucinations or errors?

CoCounsel Drafting employs a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) approach, curating AI models from Practical Law content sets. Responses include source citations that enhance transparency and allow users to easily verify the underlying language supporting them. We strongly recommend that customers validate all responses.

What security is in place when working with third-party generative AI vendors?

We currently access the underlying AI model through Microsoft Azure North American-based servers and through a zero-retention API that entitles CoCounsel Drafting customers to the most advanced data security controls that Microsoft makes available. 

Are contractual controls in place with third-party service providers to protect customer data?

Thomson Reuters providers have contractual controls that explicitly prohibit large-language model providers from retaining or using our data to train their models.
