Do businesses using AI need the same review as AI vendors?

Short answer

Not necessarily. Describe internal use and customer-facing activities separately; buying a tool creates different responsibilities from selling one. Actual policy questions depend on what the business does.

An illustrative example

A retailer uses AI internally but sells no software.

This is a hypothetical situation, not a real customer outcome or a coverage determination.

Three facts to prepare

• Internal uses
• Customer-facing actions
• Existing policies

Use a brief, accurate summary. Separate confirmed facts from assumptions; keep passwords, identity numbers, private customer records and confidential documents out of an initial marketplace request.

A question to bring to the right professional

Which activities matter to our review as a tool user?

Describe the core business first, then the tasks AI reads, suggests or executes. Purchased tools can change operations without making the company a technology vendor. Actual data, authority, customer promises and fallback arrangements are more useful than a broad claim that AI changes everything.
