Just curious: is your company happy sharing their code-base with an AI provider? Or are you using a local installation?

For 99% of companies, their code is worthless to anyone but them.

For copying the product / service yes it is not worth much .

However for people trying to compromise your system access to your code can be a valuable asset .The worth of that could be well beyond just enterprise value of the organization , it could people’s lives or bring down critical infrastructure.

You don’t just have access to code you created and have complete control to. Organizations have vendors providing code(drivers , libraries…) with narrow licenses that prohibit sharing or leaking in anyway. So this type of leak can open you to a lot of liability.
