Generative AI Usage Policy
Generative AI use in business is rapidly increasing, particularly for generating content of all kinds, but also in decision-making activities. While not yet regulated directly by law, the use of AI touches on many areas of regulation including intellectual property and data protection. It must be used with care and due diligence to balance the exciting new possibilities with legal compliance and risk-avoidance. The policy template in this sub-folder is designed to assist businesses in establishing rules and guidelines governing the use of this emerging technology.

Frequently Asked Questions
My staff are already using AI tools like ChatGPT, do I need a policy?
Yes, a usage policy is sensible. Generative AI is not yet governed by a single dedicated UK law, but its use touches intellectual property, data protection, confidentiality and accuracy, and unmanaged use creates real risk. A policy sets clear rules on what tools staff may use, what they must not enter, how to check outputs and who is accountable. This template gives you that framework so you can enable AI use with guardrails rather than banning or ignoring it.
