Artificial intelligence is no longer a silent tool in the background—it’s now an active participant in business communications. From composing emails and client proposals to providing real-time advice, generative and agentic AI are increasingly shaping how teams communicate across financial organisations.
These AI-generated communications, known as aiComms, introduce new layers of risk that compliance teams can no longer afford to overlook, claims Theta Lake.
As artificial intelligence tools become embedded in collaboration and messaging platforms, they are producing a new class of interactions that include human-to-AI and even AI-to-AI exchanges. These communications are often assumed to be internal or benign, but in reality, they frequently cross organisational boundaries, influencing external messages or triggering automated workflows that can impact regulated activities.
The growing prevalence of aiComms has led to a surge in communication volumes containing AI-authored or AI-influenced content. This expansion creates new vulnerabilities for organisations, including the risk of disseminating inaccurate data, oversharing sensitive information, or breaching regulatory standards. For compliance and risk professionals, the challenge lies in ensuring these emerging communication types are properly monitored before they lead to costly incidents.
To manage these risks effectively, compliance teams must focus on detecting and governing artificial intelligence communications at their origin. By inspecting AI outputs before they are shared or acted upon, firms can prevent errors or breaches before they escalate. This proactive approach helps identify factual inaccuracies, detect non-compliant behaviour, and safeguard confidential data.
Waiting until after an incident occurs is no longer viable. Delayed discovery only increases remediation costs, heightens reputational damage, and exposes firms to regulatory scrutiny. As artificial intelligence becomes integral to communication channels, early detection and inspection are essential for maintaining operational integrity and compliance resilience.
While compliance departments already maintain robust frameworks for supervision, conduct risk, and data protection, these processes must now evolve to accommodate AI-driven communication. Theta Lake’s AI Governance & Inspection Suite addresses this critical need by enabling firms to extend compliance oversight into AI-generated interactions.
The suite delivers comprehensive aiComms capture, ensuring that every prompt, response, and AI exchange is securely recorded in context. It also provides forensic-level inspection capabilities that allow compliance teams to identify risky or inaccurate outputs quickly, while maintaining scalable efficiency that avoids overburdening staff.
By integrating these controls, Theta Lake empowers financial institutions to build a defensible compliance framework for the artificial intelligence era—where every AI-generated interaction remains accurate, secure, and aligned with regulatory expectations.
