Responsible AI at Work

Responsible use is part of the activity
Approved Tools Still Require Sound Judgment.
Employees practice with fictional or non-confidential information, question unsupported claims, and check results against approved sources.
Qualified people retain responsibility for decisions and required review. AI is a professional tool that can strengthen thinking, communication, and efficiency when appropriately used.
An approved platform does not remove all risk. Employees practice checking facts, recognizing sensitive information, questioning unsupported claims, and following organizational expectations.

Responsible use involves employee behavior, approved accounts, access permissions, information handling, organizational controls, verification, and accountability.
Public agencies also need to consider applicable public-information and records-retention duties. Requirements vary by organization and use.
