AI audit logs must avoid becoming secondary databases, focus on metadata

An AI audit log should not inadvertently become a secondary database by storing excessive raw data from AI interactions. Instead, it should focus on recording essential details like user identity, applied policies, data sources, and enforcement of limits. Capturing full raw results should be a separate, restricted process for debugging purposes, with sensitive information redacted and automatic expiry. This approach ensures a robust audit trail without turning telemetry into a sensitive data store. AI

IMPACT Ensures better data privacy and security for AI applications by preventing sensitive data from being inadvertently stored in audit logs.
