AI is transforming the workplace and opens up new paths to productivity. However, with AI comes additional safety considerations to make while using AI at work. Here are a few recommendations for how to be safe when using AI at work:
-
Follow your organization’s policies for using AI at work. These policies are designed to protect both you and the company. Stay up to date with the latest training and guidance provided by your company.
-
Use only company-authorized AI services. While there are many free, paid, and public AI services available on the web, you should use only those AI services that your company has approved. This helps ensure that the AI service has the appropriate controls, policies, and support that are required by your company.
-
Make sure you handle any data input into AI systems with caution. Avoid disclosing sensitive or confidential company details, including personal information about employees or vendors, to AI services.
-
Always double-check AI-generated results before using them in your work. AI can make mistakes.
-
Be aware of potential biases in AI systems. Use AI responsibly and ensure that your use of AI in your work does not unfairly impact any individual or group.
