Detailed Answer
Yes, if you use third-party AI chatbots or conversation intelligence tools.
The key legal theory:
When a third-party AI provider processes customer conversations and uses that data to improve its own models, the company that embedded the chatbot may be liable for aiding and abetting wiretapping.
To minimize risk:
- Use AI providers that dont train on customer data
- Implement explicit consent for AI processing
- Disclose third-party AI use in your terms of service
- Prefer enterprise plans with contractual protections
- Consider self-hosted alternatives for customer interactions
