GenAI policy spotlight: Polyaula
Every organization (and person!) needs a policy for the safe use of generative AI. Here’s one of the best I encountered plus additions.
Here are my highlights of this policy
➤ Background
– In a poll I ran a couple of weeks ago, 40% of the ~200 respondents said that they noticed a drop in the quality of colleagues’ work due to GenAI use
– This is a shame. GenAI can be helpful, but too many use it carelessly
– That’s why a policy comes in handy. Even for people who it in their personal lives.
– I encountered Polyaula policy almost by accident when Tammy Mackenzie mentioned it in a comment to the poll I ran
– It immediately caught my attention because it combines safety principles with concrete prompt engineering advice. That is, it teaches people how to prompt, rather than just teach them about safety.
– I personally greatly benefited from reading this policy so I asked permission to share it. I hope it helps more people!
➤ Highlights of this policy
– Principles and examples in the form of an interactive Q&A
– Through prompt engineering explanations and example
– Questions for evaluating prospective tools
– Real company use cases
– I also included suggestions for additions to the policy at the end.
➤ l I’d love to hear of other great GenAI policies!
– This is the second GenAI policy I have featured, and I’m looking for more!
– The first one is here.
