You bought the AI tool. Nobody touched it. $200/month gone.
That's not a you problem. That's a vendor problem.
Here's what nobody tells you when they're pitching the next AI platform: even the U.S. government's cybersecurity agency (CISA) now requires a full ingredient list before any AI gets integrated into critical operations. They call it a Software Bill of Materials.
Translation for business owners: before you buy anything, someone should be able to hand you a plain-English list of exactly what's inside that tool, what it connects to, and what breaks if it fails.

You don't need to understand the technology. You need to know the right questions. That's it.
What's the one AI purchase you regret most — and what warning sign did you miss before you bought?
... artificial intelligence (AI) systems and supply chains. ... Principles for the Secure Integration of Artificial Intelligence in Operational Technology.
