Event AI Attendee Messaging Governance

Event AI Attendee Messaging Governance begins with a controlled operational boundary. It does not assert a configured LumiTalk capability, integration, compliance state, ticket inventory, price, fee, refund, accessibility feature, response time, language coverage, attendee result or business outcome.

Use this decision framework

Establish event-level accountability

Name executive, ticketing, legal, finance, accessibility, safety, privacy, security, payment, venue and production owners. Inventory every event, configuration, seller, reseller, merchant, credential system, vendor and jurisdiction. For each journey, define what AI may answer, propose, write or never do. A promoter, venue and seller can control different facts. Do not describe the model as emergency command, an accessibility decision maker or final refund authority. Keep approvals, evidence, effective dates and rapid message withdrawal at event level.

Govern knowledge and price sources

Every event fact, schedule, venue rule, ticket state, seat map, accessible feature, mandatory fee, policy and emergency contact needs an authoritative source, owner, audience, review date and expiry. Retrieval must preserve event and seller context. Test stale event state, conflicting systems and cross-event leakage. The FTC fee rule demands accurate total-price presentation. AI should not assemble a plausible ticket total from prose or imply primary/resale parity. Stop and route when the authoritative inventory, calculation or policy is unavailable.

Restrict consequential actions

List ticket purchase, transfer, void, refund, credit, payment, identity change, barcode reissue, accessible-seat release and credential issuance as consequential. Apply least privilege, risk-based authentication, approved channels, confirmations and human acceptance. The system must not request passwords or one-time codes, accept full card data in open chat, bypass ticket limits or route payments to a new destination. Simulate account takeover, counterfeit tickets, prompt injection, duplicate inventory and malicious credential requests. Retain emergency stop, rollback and manual recovery.

Keep emergency decisions with incident command

Define detection and approved language for fire, medical danger, violence, suspicious items, severe weather, crowd pressure and other local hazards. Direct immediate danger to 911 or onsite officials, then activate venue command. AI must not diagnose, counter evacuation or shelter instructions, reveal sensitive tactics or declare safety. Test indirect wording, multilingual messages, inaccessible alerts, disconnected chat and no human response. A generated message is not resolution; record human acceptance and next expectation. Resumption, relocation and re-entry stay with authorized people.

Protect accessible ticketing and communication

Use verified event and venue configuration for accessible seating, companion tickets, transfers, hold-and-release, entrances and communication services. Provide effective communication and a person. Do not infer disability, demand unauthorized proof, score a request as suspicious or release accessible inventory from model confidence. Test relay, captioning, interpreting, mobility, sensory and emergency communication scenarios. Qualified legal and accessibility owners determine applicability and exceptions. Preserve uncertainty and obtain a venue answer rather than hallucinating a feature or separating an attendee from companions.

Minimize attendee and payment data

Map prompts, transcripts, order data, credentials, access events, payment tokens, analytics, model providers and subprocessors. Collect only what the workflow needs, restrict access, secure transmission, define retention and prevent sensitive data from uncontrolled training or analytics. FTC security and breach-response guidance, NIST privacy practices and PCI materials provide evidence inputs. Test cross-attendee leakage, barcode exposure, exported logs and vendor incidents. Define containment, notification decisions, credential revocation, duplicate invalidation and safe resumption with qualified reviewers.

Handle refunds, complaints and disputes

Detect cancellation frustration, fee disputes, inaccessible service, ticket failure, safety concerns and unauthorized charges without requiring legal language. Preserve the attendee’s words and route to the authorized seller, venue or promoter. AI must not decide credibility, promise compensation, discourage a card dispute or close a matter because sentiment improved. Maintain event state, policy, calculation, evidence and human decision records. Monitor false negatives and reopenings. Keep service recovery, payment dispute, regulator complaint and litigation processes distinct but linked where authorized.

Validate, monitor and retire

Test interface, prompt, retrieval, prices, policies, tools, permissions, integrations, people and fallback. Use severe scenarios for emergency routing, false event state, hidden fee, invented refund, accessible-inventory release, leaked barcode, unauthorized transfer, payment diversion and data exposure. Release narrowly with qualified sign-off, severity thresholds and rollback. Monitor stale facts, conflicts, tool actions, acceptance and incidents. Retirement must revoke permissions, stop messages, export records, resolve open orders, return or delete data and verify event continuity. Missing evidence remains verification-needed and creates a research task.

Primary authorities and related event guides

Use current official authorities as the factual floor, then apply qualified review to the event, venue, seller, promoter, merchant, jurisdiction, attendee, channel and configured workflow.

Scope and evidence boundary

This editorial framework is not legal, safety, accessibility, privacy, payment or emergency advice. Applicability requires event- and venue-specific review. Product claims use verified-product, verified-business, owner-confirmed-pending-artifact, verification-needed or contradicted. Missing evidence creates a research task—not a verdict about LumiTalk.
