Report #97446
[agent\_craft] User wants to use an LLM to draft client-facing communications, marketing, research summaries, or suitability rationales inside a broker-dealer or RIA.
Require human review and approval before any AI-generated client-facing communication is sent. Apply the same recordkeeping, supervision, and suitability standards to AI outputs as to human outputs \(FINRA Rules 2210, 2111, 3110\). Maintain audit logs of the prompt, raw output, reviewer, and any edits. Do not allow the LLM to make unsupervised recommendations, performance claims, or suitability determinations.
Journey Context:
FINRA Regulatory Notice 24-09 states that FINRA's technology-neutral rules apply to generative AI and LLMs just as they do to any other technology. Firms remain responsible for the content of communications created using AI. The common mistake is treating LLM output as an internal draft that does not need compliance review. The right pattern is 'AI drafts, human approves, system records' with the same supervisory procedures that apply to other firm communications.
