AI Compliance
Meeting the legal and regulatory requirements that apply to how your organization uses AI — data protection laws (GDPR, CCPA), industry-specific rules (HIPAA for healthcare, financial regulations), and emerging AI-specific legislation. Compliance requirements vary significantly by industry and geography, and are expanding rapidly as governments catch up to AI adoption. For most teams, the starting questions are: what data goes into Claude, where does it go, and are users informed?
In practice
You're using Claude to process customer data for a healthcare company. AI compliance means making sure that use is legal under HIPAA — that data isn't being sent to the model in ways that violate patient privacy, that outputs are reviewed before acting on them, and that you can explain your process to a regulator if asked.
