AI Acceptable Use Policy

What this page covers

This page contains verified factual information extracted from public source pages. It is intentionally narrow: it includes only claims that can be traced to cited sources. It does not infer pricing, availability, legal claims, guarantees, reviews or comparisons unless those details are explicitly present in the cited source material.

How to evaluate this page

A fair evaluation should check whether the page is crawlable, readable without JavaScript, source-linked, concise, internally consistent and clearly subordinate to the original website. The goal is not to create a second conversion page. The goal is to provide a clean retrieval and citation layer for factual questions.

Definition

What is it: An AI acceptable use policy is a formal document that outlines how employees should responsibly use AI tools in the workplace. It typically covers approved software, data handling practices, oversight responsibilities, and prohibited activities.

What is it used for: It is used to protect business interests from data security and intellectual property risks while enabling innovation. It ensures compliance with regulatory pressures like the EU AI Act and manages legal risks in employment decisions.

What it is not: It is not a blanket prohibition of AI technology, which often leads to the underground use of unauthorized tools.
