Corporate Generative Artificial Intelligence Governance Policy
Generative AI can accelerate work across the business, but without clear governance, it can also introduce serious security, privacy, compliance, and intellectual property risk. This policy template gives organizations a practical starting point for defining acceptable AI use, classifying approved tools, protecting sensitive data, and enforcing AI governance in real time. Use it to build a policy that helps employees adopt AI safely without exposing company data or creating unmanaged shadow AI risk.
What’s inside:
- 1Create clear rules for how employees, contractors, and third parties can use generative AI at work.
- 2Define approved tools, prohibited data inputs, access workflows, and accountability requirements.
- 3Establish guardrails for reducing shadow AI, data exposure, compliance risk, and unsafe AI-generated output.
- 4Purpose, scope, and acceptable use requirements for generative AI
- 5Approved software, unauthorized tools, and access request workflows
- 6Data classification rules for public, internal, confidential, and restricted information
- 7Human-in-the-loop accountability, factual verification, IP review, and bias controls
- 8Monitoring, enforcement, incident reporting, and behavioral risk assessment
