AI policy for small business
A small business AI policy does not need to be long. One page, written in plain English, that the team can actually read and remember is far more useful than a ten-page document.
Why bother
A policy makes it easier to say yes to new tools. It tells your team what is allowed and removes the need to ask the same questions every week.
What to include
- 01Approved tools
- 02What data must not be pasted into any tool
- 03Who approves new tools
- 04Quality checks before AI output is used
- 05Where to ask questions
Keep it short
If your policy is more than a page, the team will not read it. Strip it back until every line earns its place.
Review it twice a year
AI tools change often. A policy written eighteen months ago is almost certainly out of date. Set a calendar reminder.
