To answer those thorny questions, we consult the ANSI and BHMA standards bodies, both of which provide ratings about the long-term physical capabilities of a lock. But what do those ratings mean, and why doesn't every lock manufacturer use them?
Let's dig deeper.

Understanding ANSI ratings
ANSI, the American National Standards Institute, is a nonprofit organization that dates to 1918(!). It represents hundreds of thousands of companies and manages standards for a vast array of products, ranging from the size of a piece of paper to the way nuclear power plants should be cooled.

The advent of popular AI was a watershed moment in AI adoption, but the earliest implementations of ChatGPT-based and homegrown AI solutions were fraught with pitfalls, especially with regards to data security. Businesses leaving AI adoption up to individuals risked having private and secure information shared with tools and companies with little compulsion to protect it. This approach created all kinds of compliance difficulties and potential vulnerabilities that many organizations were unprepared to manage. In the future, onboarding AI responsibly will become a must for organizations.
