communication compliance

Communication compliance in Microsoft Purview is evolving to include plaintext review of AI prompts and responses, with preview activity expected in May 2026 and general availability in June 2026 for organizations using relevant compliance controls. This capability allows authorized enterprise reviewers to read flagged AI interactions directly, moving the evidence trail from signals and policy matches to the actual words employees typed and the answers AI systems returned. The feature addresses security needs but also raises workplace-trust considerations, as it provides a more transparent view of AI use without being a universal transcript viewer. This development is relevant for organizations managing compliance and governance of AI communications.
