Questions,
answered.

How does AI use employee data?

AI works inside governed workflows with access controls, named purpose and human oversight. Customer data is never used to train models. October publishes its model register, governance policy and evaluation results.

Can we turn specific AI features off?

Yes. Each AI capability can be enabled or disabled per organisation, and outputs are always reviewable by a person before they become a decision.
