Definition
Engineer A was constrained from uploading Client W's confidential site data and groundwater monitoring information into open-source AI software, as doing so exposed confidential client information to a third-party platform outside the protected professional relationship.

ConfidentialDataPlatformConstraint
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#ConfidentialDataPlatformConstraint
Case context
Engineer A input Client W's proprietary site data and groundwater monitoring information into open-source AI software to generate both the contaminant report draft and the preliminary design documents, without apparent consideration of the confidentiality implications of using an open-source platform.
Confidence
0.86
Constraint statement
Engineer A was constrained from uploading Client W's confidential site data and groundwater monitoring information into open-source AI software, as doing so exposed confidential client information to a third-party platform outside the protected professional relationship.
Severity
high
Source
NSPE Code of Ethics confidentiality provisions, professional duty to protect client information
Temporal scope
At the time of AI software use for both the report and design documents
Match Confidence
0.78
Match Reasoning
Via class 'Confidential Data Platform Constraint': The Confidentiality Constraint class covers boundaries on information disclosure and privacy, which encompasses this scenario. However, the specific application to open-source AI platform data upload is a variant not explicitly addressed by the existing class. Matching as a variant of Confidentiality Constraint at medium confidence, while defining a more specific reusable subtype for AI platform contexts.
