My company forbids the use of LLMs that aren't validated (and we make one).

Our managers get emails if we make calls to known LLMs, and there's guidance on locally running LLMs and using their output ("it's okay for small things maybe, but be careful"). Why?

Because legal's job is to protect the company from legal threats. Sometimes that means making some awkward choices, like handwringing over the use of GPL licensed software in publicly exposed example code (such as sample apps) purely because some aspects of the GPL haven't been tested in American courts, much less international ones.

So the use cases for LLMs there are mostly source-to-source transformative ("Turn this function and documentation into javadoc format please") or similar -- stuff where you can show that the LLM isn't introducing anything that might maybe possibly have any hint of externally licensed software.

Wild. I suppose it's good that people who like these conditions can find employers like this and people like me who don't can find employers not like this.

I could never countenance operating under these conditions.
