What the evaluation found
JetBrains AI
Strongest category: Privacy
JetBrains AI provides users with strong control over their intellectual property through a "default-off" policy, meaning code is never used for AI training unless a user explicitly opts in. The company is transparent about its data practices, proactively notifying users of policy changes and providing clear data deletion workflows. This user-centric approach is reinforced by strong European privacy standards and independent security certifications.

Strongest category: Impact, Ethics, And Safety
Vercel V0 places significant responsibility on its users for ensuring the safety and ethical use of the AI-generated code. This reliance on the developer is compounded by a lack of public information about the AI model's training or architecture, making it difficult for users to independently assess risks like bias. The company also transfers legal risks for code licensing and data privacy to the developer, as user prompts may be used for model training without clear safeguards.
