Last week, the UK gained its first-ever AI Minister with an accompanying AI Taskforce. Whether you are a gung-ho enthusiast or reluctant sceptic, it is clearly time for your organisation to take AI seriously.
Regardless of your industry, there are relevant AI tools, solutions, challenges and risks for your team. And if you don’t have senior-level direction and governance in place, shadow AI is on that list – what you don’t know can hurt you.
Clear guidelines on how and when your team uses AI can prevent:
- Security or data breaches
- If your team is using free public tools, they could be making sensitive customer or commercial information public
- Copyright infringement and other legal issues
- Biased or incorrect information
- AI tools are constantly evolving, but its knowledge is based on the information it is given – content has to be verified and checked every time.
- Inconsistent standards and products
Futureproof your guidelines by providing your team with a decision-making matrix that helps them decide if the tools they’re considering meet your minimum requirements. Equip your workforce so they are able to set appropriate expectations and use the right emerging technology for their task.
This way, your subject experts have the autonomy they need to keep up-to-date with the tools available for their specialism.
