How to create an AI Policy

The third webinar in our series looking at how AI can support the third sector’s data use to find out how to create an AI policy or guidelines for your organisation. The other webinars in this series are ‘What is Generative AI and how can it help you get more out of your data?’ and ‘How can my organisation use AI responsibly?’

Many organisations, especially smaller ones, have no policies for putting tools in place, let alone using them ethically. Understand the most important principles from existing AI policies and other organisations prototyping generative AI tools.
