AI Governance
An AI acceptable use policy sets the rules for how employees can use generative AI tools at work: what data can and can't be entered into them, which tools are approved, and what requires review before it's used. If employees are already using ChatGPT or similar tools, which most are, you need one, because the alternative isn't "no AI use," it's ungoverned AI use.
What it actually covers
A real AI governance package covers the acceptable use policy itself, data handling standards (what information can never go into a public AI tool), vendor evaluation criteria for any AI tool the business adopts, and staff training so the policy is actually followed, not just filed. Mine is written for regulated environments and for the people who have to follow it, not for a compliance binder nobody reads.
The risk that makes this urgent isn't hypothetical: employees pasting client data, source code, or PHI into public AI tools to save time, with no policy telling them not to and no one aware it's happening. A written policy plus training closes that gap before it becomes an incident.
Questions
A policy that sets the rules for how employees use generative AI tools at work: what data can be entered, which tools are approved, and what requires review, so AI use is governed instead of ungoverned.
Almost certainly, if employees have access to tools like ChatGPT, which most do. Unofficial, ungoverned use is the actual risk a policy addresses.
