Policy
What should an AI policy cover?
A useful AI policy is short. It names the tools staff may use and the data they must never enter. It also names who approves new uses. It says what to do when something goes wrong.
In the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office publishes guidance on artificial intelligence and data protection. The ICO says the guidance is under review because of the Data (Use and Access) Act. Check it for updates.

Questions
AI governance questions
What is AI governance?
AI governance is the rules, checks and responsibilities that control how a business uses AI.
Does my small business need an AI policy?
If your staff use AI tools, yes. A short policy protects your data and sets clear limits. It does not need to be long.
What does an AI governance consultant do?
They review how AI is used, list the risks, and help you write a policy and a risk register your team can follow.
How long does an AI governance review take?
It depends on the size of the business and how widely AI is already used. We confirm the timing on the call.
What UK rules apply to AI use at work?
Data protection law applies when AI handles personal data. The ICO’s guidance on artificial intelligence is the place to start. This is not legal advice.
Who in the business should own AI governance?
A named person, usually a director or senior manager, should approve new uses of AI and keep the policy up to date.
