1. Humans Are Always Accountable:
AI never replaces our critical thinking or judgment. We use AI to accelerate our work: helping us think faster, communicate more clearly, and explore new ideas. The credit and consequences belong to humans, not the tool.
- Strategy and priority decisions will be made by people.
- Where a person has delegated any function to AI, that person remains fully responsible and accountable for the decisions made.
- We apply wise judgment about what should – and should not – be automated. Automation may handle execution, but people always remain accountable for the outcome.
2. Build Trust, Not Confusion:
We put others first by using AI in ways that make work easier and clearer, never harder or murkier.
- When we can’t or decide not to review AI’s work, we make it clear what is AI-generated and unreviewed.
- We will not use AI to manipulate emotion or distort the truth.
- We use AI to produce clarity, not to add unnecessary detail. We will not substitute AI’s volume of words for our own understanding.
3. Steward Data with Care:
We handle data entrusted to us responsibly and securely. Every interaction with AI reflects our duty to protect the information in our care.
- We take responsibility for ensuring that AI use never compromises data security.
- We apply the same data-classification and security standards to AI tools as we do to any other vendor or system.
- We share only what’s necessary, with awareness of how data may be stored, learned from, or reused by AI systems.
