A One-Page AI Use Policy

Long policies don't get read. Here is the one-page version we give to clients on day one.

1. What you can use AI for

• Drafting, summarising, translating internal content
• Code suggestions and review
• Research synthesis
• Customer-facing content (with human review)

2. What you cannot do

• Paste customer PII, contracts, salary data, or source code with secrets into public AI tools
• Use AI output as-is for legal, medical, financial advice
• Use AI to make hiring, firing, or credit decisions without human sign-off

3. Which tools are approved

[List your sanctioned tools. Update monthly.]

4. How we handle mistakes

• Report AI errors that reached a customer to your manager within 24h
• No blame for honest reporting; we learn and patch

5. How this policy changes

Reviewed every quarter. Last updated: [date].

That's it. One page. Real adoption.
