In most cases, yes. Internal AI use can still create compliance risk if employees enter personal data, confidential business information, customer records, marketing claims, legal/compliance content, or vendor information into AI systems without controls.
At minimum, businesses should define:
-
Approved and prohibited AI uses,
-
What data cannot be entered,
-
Who approves AI tools,
-
How outputs are reviewed,
-
How vendors using AI are evaluated, and
-
What documentation must be retained.
