Lesson 2 of 5 in For team leads: roll out AI
Write a one-page team AI policy
Your team needs guardrails, not gates. A one-page policy says what's okay, what's not, and who decides. It prevents panic and confusion.
Do this
Use the AI to draft a one-page AI policy for your team. Then edit it to match your actual culture and risk tolerance.
Try it now
Copy this prompt and customize it for your company:
>Write a one-page AI use policy for a [size] [industry] team. Include: 1) What AI can be used for (drafting, summarizing, research), 2) What requires human review (final client deliverables, sensitive data), 3) What is NOT allowed (uploading confidential docs to public AI), 4) Who to ask if unsure. Tone: practical and trusting, not legalistic. Under 300 words.
Check yourself
Is the policy one page? Does it sound like something your team would follow, not resent?
What just happened
Policies written by AI are generic. The magic happens when you edit them. Add your company's specific rules. Remove anything that doesn't apply. The best policy is the one your team reads and remembers.
