Write your team's AI policy
Even in a team of five, clear rules prevent unpleasant surprises with AI. This lesson guides you through writing a short policy, from approved tools to transparency with your customers, and through planning a gradual rollout so the team adopts it rather than working around it.
Lesson objective
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to write a one-page AI policy (approved tools, forbidden data, permitted uses, checks, transparency, owner) and plan a gradual rollout in your team.
Topics covered
- AI policy

What you will learn in the course
This lesson is part of the course Put AI to work in your business
- Explain, on a concrete case, why an AI assistant makes things up, forgets or misses recent information, and decide how to use it accordingly.
- Sort data before giving it to an AI tool (allowed, anonymize first, forbidden) and configure the tool to match.
- Choose which tasks to hand to AI and how to work with it (automate, assist, delegate) based on value, risk and the data involved.
- Write a complete request (task, context, examples, format, constraints) and improve it over at least two documented iterations.
- Pick the right tool for a deliverable and justify the choice on data, cost, licensing and integration.
- Check AI output against an explicit checklist (facts, figures, sources, tone, compliance) before using it.
- Turn a successful use into a reusable workflow with human checkpoints, and set the team's rules of use in an AI policy.
