6 ways to stay protected when system integrators use AI in RFP responses

Gen AI is rapidly transforming how system integrators engage with organizations, particularly in the way these vendors respond to requests for proposals. As more SIs leverage AI to draft and optimize their responses, organizations must rethink how they assess them and ensure vendor accountability.
