We have established a basic AI policy for our company, but we have no way of knowing if our employees are actually following it. How do we audit our team's AI usage without micromanaging them or acting like the internet police?

Auditing AI compliance is about accountability, not surveillance. You do not need invasive software that tracks every keystroke. Instead, you integrate AI compliance into your existing EOS operational framework. Start with your Accountability Chart. The Integrator is ultimately responsible for operational risk, but each department leader must own the compliance of their team. Ensure your basic AI policy is stored in your company wiki and that every employee has signed off on it. Next, use your weekly Level 10 Meeting to maintain visibility. Have your department heads report on any new AI use cases during the review of their core processes. You can also implement a simple technical checkpoint by configuring your office network router or DNS service to flag traffic to unapproved AI domains. This gives you a high level view of what systems are being accessed without invading personal privacy. If an unapproved tool shows up on the network logs, do not make it a legal issue. Bring it to your weekly leadership meeting, use the IDS process to discuss why the tool was used, and determine if it should be officially approved or banned. Keep the focus entirely on protecting company data while enabling your team to solve problems.
