Vendor lock-in
Also: Anbieterabhängigkeit
Strong dependence on a single AI provider that makes switching later expensive or difficult.
Lock-in arises from proprietary interfaces, data stored in a format only one provider understands, or workflows tailored to a specific model, for example.
Remedies are open standards, an abstraction layer between application and model, exportable data and regular tests with alternative models.
