Short Answer: Yes, but only with clear expectations, training, and oversight.
Why It Matters: The question is no longer whether employees will use AI. Many already are. The better question is whether your business has established rules that encourage responsible use.
Common Mistakes: Having no AI policy; allowing employees to upload confidential information; accepting AI output without review; assuming everyone understands AI's limitations.
Michelle's Bottom Line: Govern AI the same way you govern every other important business tool: with policies, training, and accountability. Every company should identify approved AI tools, explain what information may be entered, require human review of AI-generated work, and make clear that employees, not AI, remain responsible for the final product. An AI policy also helps create consistency across your organization and reduces unnecessary risk.
