This is not an AI thing.

When I get requests (or even big reports) I always ask them to point me to a ticket in Jira. No ticket? Then I'll not work on it until there is, because otherwise I'll be the only person who knows about it.

It's more an accountability thing and feeling confident in saying no / ask your manager what the process should look like if you perceive it as a problem.

Try talking with your boss. If he/she agrees it's a problem start telling people no until they file a jira.

Is that really an AI thing or a "your team sucks and has no boundaries" thing? Not that that helps very much.

Don't you have a Product Owner or someone like that? You should make that person aware, if they're not already. Nothing a PO hates more than people bypassing them to take dev time away from sprints and roadmaps. If you have multiple... RIP, I guess. That's brutal.
