What this post added

This post highlights GitLab's commitment to not using customer code for AI model training, contrasting it with GitHub's policy change. It emphasizes GitLab's contractual prohibitions against AI vendors using customer data and points to the GitLab AI Transparency Center as an auditable source of information on data handling, model usage, and subprocessors. The post also details how this approach addresses the needs of regulated industries by providing contractual certainty, auditability, and separation from vendor incentives, and mentions the AI Continuity Plan as a response to vendor changes.
