AI Acceptable Use Policy
Corporate policy defining permitted and prohibited uses of AI tools by employees.
Definition
An AI Acceptable Use Policy is an enterprise policy establishing rules and guidelines for employee use of AI tools, both corporate-provided and external (such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot). Key elements include:
- Permitted uses: AI applications approved for business use
- Prohibited uses: AI applications or uses that are forbidden
- Data restrictions: What data may/may not be input to AI systems
- Output review: Requirements for human review of AI-generated content
- Disclosure obligations: When AI use must be disclosed
- Tool approval: Process for approving new AI tools
With widespread adoption of generative AI, these policies have become essential for managing risks including data leakage, IP exposure, accuracy issues, and compliance violations.
