Key takeaways
  • Do not paste confidential or personal data into tools without approval
  • Always review AI output before it reaches customers
  • Write a short policy so everyone follows the same rules

AI assistants can draft emails, summarise documents, write code and analyse data in seconds. Used well, they save time. Used carelessly, they can leak information or produce confident mistakes.

A simple AI policyAnimated
  • Approved tools only
  • No confidential data without approval
  • Human review before sending
  • Check facts and numbers
  • Disclose AI use where required

Protect data

Understand how each tool handles the information you enter. Business or enterprise versions often offer stronger data protections. Avoid pasting customer personal data, passwords or confidential contracts into tools that are not approved for it.

Review everything

AI can produce plausible but wrong answers. Check facts, numbers, names and claims before anything is sent to customers or published.
