Employees are using them to draft emails, summarize documents, analyze information, brainstorm ideas, write code, create images, take meeting notes, and solve problems faster. For small and midsized businesses, that's an exciting opportunity. But it also raises a very practical question: **What is actually okay for employees to do with AI at work?** Writing an AI Acceptable Use Policy gives you and your team a chance to pause and actually think through these questions together, creating clear expectations for how AI should be intentionally used across your business. Rather than trying to predict every AI tool you might want to use in the future, a good AI Acceptable Use Policy establishes clear expectations for how employees can use AI responsibly. It helps your team understand what information can be entered into AI systems, which tools are approved, when human review is required, and when they should stop and ask before moving forward. If you're wondering what that looks like in practice, the examples below can help you start defining the right expectations for your business. Let's first more fully define what an AI Acceptable Use Policy, or AI AUP, is. ## What is an AI Acceptable Use Policy? A standard  Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) establishes expectations for how employees use a company’s technology, systems, devices, applications, and information. It [creates shared guidelines for everyday technology decisions](https://mightygrc.com/mighty-blog/small-business-acceptable-use-policy), helping your team consistently make decisions about what is allowed, what requires approval, and where to go when they’re unsure. An AI Acceptable Use Policy takes those same principles and applies them specifically to artificial intelligence. It establishes guidelines for how team members can use AI tools as part of their work, including what tools are appropriate, what information can be shared with them, when human review is required, and when they should ask for guidance before moving forward with adoption. It might address specific tools such as generative AI assistants, AI-powered productivity applications, coding assistants, meeting transcription tools, image generators, or AI functionality built into software your business already uses. But the goal isn't to create a giant list of approved and prohibited applications. It's to give your team a framework for making good decisions about a rapidly and continually evolving technology without slowing down the benefits of AI adoption, especially for a small business or a team with limited resources. ![MIGHTY GRC Quote for Small Business: The goal isn't to create a giant list of approved and prohibited applications. It's to give employees a framework for making good decisions as the technology changes.](https://mightygrc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Quote%20Left%20Icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png?width=42&height=32&name=Quote%20Left%20Icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png)   **The goal isn't to create a giant list of approved and prohibited applications. It's to give your team a framework for making good decisions about a rapidly and continually evolving technology.**   A useful AI policy should answer practical questions like: - Which AI tools can your team use? - What company or customer information can be entered into them? - Can employees use AI-generated content externally? - Does AI-generated work need to be reviewed? - Can employees connect AI tools to company systems? - Who approves new AI applications? - Who should your team ask if they have questions about the use of AI? Those expectations can look different depending on your business, your customers, the information you handle, and how your team uses AI in there everyday work. Here are some examples of AI Acceptable Use Policies. And if you're still figuring out which policies your business actually needs, start with our [***MIGHTY Guide to the 7 Essential Policies Every Small Business Should Have***](https://mightygrc.com/small-business-policy-guide). An AI Acceptable Use Policy is one of the first policies we recommend because it gives your small business a practical framework for embracing AI and innovation while managing risk. ## 8 AI Acceptable Use Policy examples ### 1. AI tool approval process ![AI tool selection process example for a small business Acceptable Use Policy](https://mightygrc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AI%20Tool%20Approval%20Process%20Icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png?width=150&height=150&name=AI%20Tool%20Approval%20Process%20Icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png)One of the simplest places to start is defining whether employees can choose their own AI tools. Without guidance, one employee might use an enterprise AI product approved by the company while another enters the same information into a free consumer application. Your policy might say: > Employees may use company-approved AI tools for legitimate business purposes. New AI tools must be reviewed and approved before they are used to process company or customer information. This doesn't mean every experiment with AI needs an extensive approval process. Your business might instead establish different boundaries for experimentation and business use. For example, employees could be allowed to experiment with publicly available AI tools using *only* public or non-sensitive information, while approval is required before a tool is used with company data or incorporated into a business process. ![MIGHTY Mindset: Don't make experimentation unnecessarily difficult. Make the boundaries clear.](https://mightygrc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/MIGHTY%20Mindset%20Letter%20Icon%20from%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png?width=791&height=397&name=MIGHTY%20Mindset%20Letter%20Icon%20from%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png) ### Don't make experimentation unnecessarily difficult. **Just make the boundaries clear.** AI policies can create room for innovation by helping employees understand where they can explore freely and where additional consideration is needed. That clarity can also make your team more productive. When employees understand the boundaries around a technology, they can spend less time wondering what’s allowed, waiting for approval, or asking the same questions repeatedly. Instead, they have the autonomy to make more decisions on their own and keep work moving. [Explore how policies impact productivity](https://mightygrc.com/mighty-blog/small-business-policy-productivity)   ### 2. Use of customer and company information ![You need a policy for how to enter sensitive data in AI tools for your small business.](https://mightygrc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sensitive%20data%20Icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC..png?width=150&height=150&name=Sensitive%20data%20Icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC..png)This is one of the most important decisions an AI policy should address. Employees may not always know what happens to information after they enter it into an AI system.   Your policy could establish a simple rule: > Confidential, proprietary, personal, or customer information must not be entered into an AI tool unless the tool has been specifically approved for use with sensitive data. Then define what that means for your business by detailing what information, specifically, should not be entered into an AI tool. Examples might include: - Customer records - Employee information - Passwords or authentication information - Financial information - Contracts - Confidential business plans - Proprietary source code - Non-public intellectual property - Sensitive, or any, customer communications The exact list will vary considerably from one business to another. ![MIGHTY GRC Quote for Small Business: Your policy should reflect the information your business actually handles.](https://mightygrc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Quote%20Left%20Icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png?width=42&height=32&name=Quote%20Left%20Icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png)   **Your policy should reflect the information your business *actually* handles.** That's why [copying another company's AI policy](https://www.gartner.com/en/documents/6274083) word-for-word usually isn't enough. Your policy should reflect the information your business actually handles. ### 3. Human review of AI-generated work ![Your AI Acceptable Use Policy should detail when and how a human should review AI generated work in your small business.](https://mightygrc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Human%20review%20of%20AI%20work%20icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png?width=150&height=150&name=Human%20review%20of%20AI%20work%20icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png) AI can produce convincing output that is incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, or simply wrong. This is sometimes referred to as [an AI “hallucination,”](https://www.ibm.com/think/topics/ai-hallucinations) when an AI system generates information that sounds plausible and authoritative but isn’t supported by reliable facts or sources. It might invent a statistic, misrepresent a source, provide an incorrect answer, or confidently fill in information it doesn’t actually know. Because these errors aren’t always obvious, employees may unknowingly rely on or share inaccurate information. An AI Acceptable Use Policy can establish expectations for when AI-generated work should be reviewed, fact-checked, or validated against trusted sources before it is used to make decisions or shared with customers, partners, or the public. Your policy should therefore establish who remains responsible for the final work. For example: > Employees are responsible for reviewing and validating AI-generated content before using it for business purposes. AI-generated information should not be assumed to be accurate simply because it appears complete or authoritative. That could mean checking facts before publishing an AI-assisted article, reviewing AI-generated code before deploying it, verifying calculations before making a financial decision, or reading an AI-generated customer response before sending it. The important principle is simple: **AI can assist with the work. It doesn't eliminate accountability for the work.** ### 4. How to use AI in customer communications ![Your AI AUP should explain how and when to use AI when communicating with your SMB's customers and clients.](https://mightygrc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/How%20to%20use%20AI%20to%20communicate%20with%20customers%20icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png?width=150&height=150&name=How%20to%20use%20AI%20to%20communicate%20with%20customers%20icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png)Suppose an employee asks an AI assistant to draft an email. That's probably very different from allowing an autonomous AI system to communicate directly with customers without review. Your policy can and should distinguish between the two. For example, your AI Acceptable Use Policy may state: > AI tools may be used to assist in drafting customer communications. Employees remain responsible for reviewing communications for accuracy, appropriateness, confidentiality, and alignment with company standards before they are sent. For higher-risk communications, your organization might require additional review. ![MIGHTY GRC Quote for Small Business: The point is to determine where human judgment needs to remain part of the process.](https://mightygrc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Quote%20Left%20Icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png?width=42&height=32&name=Quote%20Left%20Icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png)   **The point is to determine where human judgment needs to remain part of the process.** The point isn't necessarily to prohibit AI-generated communication. It's to determine where human judgment needs to remain part of the process. ### 5. Use rules for AI-generated images, writing, and other content ![Your AI Acceptable Use Policy should govern how ai-generated images and content is used to market your small business or SMB.](https://mightygrc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AI%20use%20for%20marketing%20content%20and%20images%20icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png?width=150&height=150&name=AI%20use%20for%20marketing%20content%20and%20images%20icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png)AI makes it remarkably easy to create content. That also introduces questions about accuracy, intellectual property, brand standards, disclosure, and ownership.   An AI Acceptable Use Policy might say, as an example: > Employees may use approved AI tools to assist with content creation when appropriate. AI-generated content must be reviewed by a human before publication or external use and must comply with the company's confidentiality, intellectual property, brand, and content standards. Different teams may need different guidance for its different uses. Marketing might use AI extensively for brainstorming and drafts. Engineering might use it for code assistance. HR might have stricter limitations because of the employee information involved. Your policy can establish company-wide principles while allowing more specific procedures where they're needed. ### 6. Use of AI meeting assistants and transcription tools ![Your AI AUP should explain how and when your small team can use AI meeting assistants and transcription tools.](https://mightygrc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Use%20of%20AI%20meeting%20assistants%20and%20transcription%20tools%20icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png?width=150&height=150&name=Use%20of%20AI%20meeting%20assistants%20and%20transcription%20tools%20icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png)AI meeting assistants deserve particular attention because employees can quietly introduce them into conversations with little more than a click. But a meeting might contain customer information, employee information, confidential business discussions, or information belonging to another organization. Your policy could establish: > AI transcription, recording, or meeting-assistant tools may only be used when they have been approved by the company and their use is appropriate for the information being discussed and when applicable consent requirements are met. This is a good example of why an AI policy needs to reflect how people actually work. If your team regularly uses virtual meetings, AI note-taking may already be part of your technology environment whether leadership formally introduced it or not. ### 7. Approval process for connecting AI to company systems ![Outline the approval process for connecting AI tools to company systems in your small business AI AUP.](https://mightygrc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Approval%20process%20for%20connecting%20AI%20to%20company%20systems%20icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png?width=150&height=150&name=Approval%20process%20for%20connecting%20AI%20to%20company%20systems%20icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png)Typing a prompt into an AI assistant is one thing. Giving an AI application access to your email, cloud storage, CRM, code repository, or other business systems is another.   Your policy can make that difference in usage clear: > Employees must receive approval before connecting an AI tool to company systems, applications, accounts, or data repositories. This allows employees to explore useful technology without assuming that permission to ***use*** an AI tool automatically means permission to ***integrate*** it with everything else. That's an important distinction as AI becomes embedded across more business applications. ### 8. What to do when you still have questions about AI adoption ![What to do when you still have questions about AI adoption for a small business.](https://mightygrc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AI%20Adoption%20Questions%20Icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png?width=150&height=150&name=AI%20Adoption%20Questions%20Icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png)No AI Acceptable Use Policy could ever anticipate every situation. And it shouldn't try to. Technology is changing too quickly for a policy based entirely on specific tools and scenarios to remain useful for long. Instead, tell employees what to do when the answer isn't obvious. > If you are unsure whether an AI tool or proposed use is appropriate, *do not* enter sensitive information or connect the tool to company systems. Contact \[role/team\] for guidance before proceeding. That last part matters. Keep in mind: **“Ask for approval” isn't particularly useful if nobody knows whom to ask.** Name the role, person, team, or process responsible for answering AI-related questions. ![MIGHTY GRC Quote for Small Business: Technology is changing too quickly for a policy based entirely on specific tools and scenarios to remain useful for long.](https://mightygrc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Quote%20Left%20Icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png?width=42&height=32&name=Quote%20Left%20Icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png)   **Technology is changing too quickly for a policy based entirely on specific tools and scenarios to remain useful for long.** ![MIGHTY Mindset: A good AI policy doesn't need every answer. It needs a clear path to one.](https://mightygrc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/MIGHTY%20Mindset%20Letter%20Icon%20from%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png?width=791&height=397&name=MIGHTY%20Mindset%20Letter%20Icon%20from%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png) ### A good AI policy doesn't need an answer for every possible question. **It just needs a clear path to one.** Your employees will encounter AI use cases you haven't considered yet. Give them enough guidance to recognize when they can move forward and a simple way to escalate when they're unsure. [Learn more about why SMBs need an AI policy](https://mightygrc.com/mighty-blog/small-business-ai-policy-benefits) ## How principles build an *actionable* AI policy Taken individually, these examples might look like a collection of rules. Together, they establish something more useful: decision-making boundaries and escalation processes. Your team begins to operate within and help cultivate a security-first culture: **Go:** Using an approved AI tool to brainstorm marketing ideas using non-sensitive and publically available information. **Review required:** Using AI to draft something that will eventually reach a customer or a sales prospect. **Ask first:** Introducing a new AI application or connecting an approved AI tool to company systems. **STOP:** Entering sensitive information into a tool that hasn't been approved for this use. That's much easier to remember than a long list of technology-specific restrictions. And because those principles aren't tied to a particular AI product, they're less likely to become obsolete every time a new tool arrives. ## What should your AI Acceptable Use Policy include? The examples above can be translated into a relatively straightforward policy structure. For many small businesses, that might include: 1. **Purpose and scope:** Why the policy exists. Who it applies to. 2. **Approved AI use:** How employees may use AI for work. 3. **AI tool approval:** When new tools require review. 4. **Information handling:** What information can and cannot be entered into AI systems. 5. **Human review and accountability:** When AI-generated work needs to be verified. 6. **External communications:** Expectations for customer-facing or public content. 7. **Integrations and system access:** Rules for connecting AI to company technology. 8. **Reporting and escalation:** What employees should do when something goes wrong or they're unsure. 9. **Review and updates:** How the company will keep the policy current as AI evolves. Your policy can be relatively short and still be effective. The goal isn't to document every possible use of AI. It's to give people enough clarity to make good decisions when the next use case appears. ## Your AI Policy should reflect your business An accounting firm, marketing agency, software company, retailer, and healthcare business shouldn't necessarily have identical AI policies. They don't handle the same information. They don't face the same obligations. And they don't use AI in the same ways. Before adopting an AI Acceptable Use Policy example or template, ask: **How is our team already using AI?** That's often the best place to begin. Talk with your people about the tools they're using, the work they're using them for, the information they're entering, and the places where they're uncertain about what's appropriate. You may discover that AI adoption is further along than you realized. That's useful information. ![MIGHTY Mindset: Start with reality, not restriction.](https://mightygrc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/MIGHTY%20Mindset%20Letter%20Icon%20from%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png?width=791&height=397&name=MIGHTY%20Mindset%20Letter%20Icon%20from%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png) ### Start with reality. **Don't lead with restrictions.** Understanding how your team already uses AI gives you a much better foundation for governing it. The goal isn't to shut down useful technology. It's to establish boundaries that let people use it with greater confidence. ## Securely embrace AI for small business resilience AI will continue to change. Your policy should expect that. Trying to write rules for every AI product or capability will leave you constantly chasing the technology. Instead, establish durable principles around information, approval, accountability, integration, and escalation. Then review those expectations as your business and the technology evolve. ![MIGHTY GRC Quote for Small Business: A strong AI Acceptable Use Policy doesn't have to make AI adoption slower. It should make responsible adoption easier.](https://mightygrc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Quote%20Left%20Icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png?width=42&height=32&name=Quote%20Left%20Icon.%20MIGHTY%20GRC.png)   **A strong AI Acceptable Use Policy doesn't have to make AI adoption slower. It should make responsible adoption easier.** A strong AI Acceptable Use Policy doesn't have to make AI adoption slower. It should make responsible adoption easier. Employees know where the boundaries are. Leaders don't have to make every AI decision themselves. And your business can explore new capabilities while being thoughtful about the information, customers, systems, and reputation you've worked hard to build. That's governance doing what it should do: **Helping people make better decisions while the business keeps moving forward.**   ### Not sure where to start? ![Free PDF download to begin writing your AI Acceptable Use Policy.](https://mightygrc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/The%20MIGHTY%20Guide%20to%20Seven%20Essential%20Policies%20for%20Small%20Business%20and%20Teams.png?width=955&height=745&name=The%20MIGHTY%20Guide%20to%20Seven%20Essential%20Policies%20for%20Small%20Business%20and%20Teams.png) ## The Mighty Guide to SMB Policies Get your free MIGHTY Guide to writing your first AI Acceptable Use Policy, and take the first steps toward building a practical policy program that includes Information Security, Business Continuity, Incident Response, and more. #### Start with an AI Acceptable Use Policy.
