Whatever the specifics turn out to be, a major cloud provider banning an AI coding tool over alleged hidden tracking behavior is a real trust event, not just a headline — it feeds directly into the “can I actually verify what this tool is doing” question that’s underneath a lot of enterprise AI hesitancy right now. ...
