Tenant evidence can identify AI-related applications, publishers, consent context, permission scopes, and accountable owners when those fields are available. It cannot prove prompts, content, actual employee behavior, or vendor-side billing.
What the tenant can show
Application inventory and consent metadata can identify AI-related services, publishers, scopes, and organizational approval context when available.
What it cannot show
Those records do not prove prompts, files submitted to a vendor, employee intent, actual feature usage, or what a provider stores outside Microsoft 365.
Create governance from evidence
Assign an owner, approved purpose, allowed data classification, permission boundary, review date, and disposition to each AI-related application.
Put it to work
Create an AI application register with owner, purpose, consent type, permissions, review date, and disposition.
Next step: Create an AI application register with owner, purpose, consent type, permissions, review date, and disposition.
