Since the recent Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade, companies have been impacted nationwide and have several new legal angles to consider as it relates to their employees and their businesses. With that in mind, we’ve created a new podcast series, Dobbs on Demand, designed to help you navigate this new and evolving landscape.

One size fits all? We’re being cheeky, of course. While we frequently receive requests for a “model” AI policy, there is no singular approach that covers all use cases and still provides meaningful guardrails. Still, we’ve found that asking three main questions is a good starting point:

core/paragraph

What types of AI do you have?

core/list-item

How are you using that AI?

What roles do you play in the AI industry continuum?

core/list

These guidelines show how to apply those questions in more detail to create the right AI policy for your organization.

What types of AI do you have?

“AI” is a blanket term that covers far more than headline-grabbing conversational chatbots. An AI policy that does not distinguish among the types of AI your organization may use risks being overly restrictive, or so broad that it provides limited guidance to your employees or end users. So, the first step is to ask what types of AI you contemplate using. Some examples are shown below.

How are you using AI?

AI guidelines depend just as much on how the AI is used as on what AI is used. Even when different departments employ the same technology, the types of data being used and the outcomes of those uses implicate different legal and business risks. For example, use by the marketing department will have a different risk profile than use by research and development. Consider the examples below of how different departments in an organization may use AI for different purposes.

Where do you fall on the AI industry continuum? What are your legal and risk concerns?

This last question frames your relationship to other players involved in creating, deploying or using AI technology. For any given use case, you may fulfill one or more of the following roles: providing training data, building foundational models, building AI technology on top of foundational models or using that AI technology. An organization may even fill all four roles at once, for example by using its own data to customize an existing foundational model to build technology to streamline its business operations when used by its employees. Even within a given industry, for a given planned use, the legal and risk concerns vary depending on your AI industry role. For example, the technology deployer offering legal research solutions is going to have different concerns than the legal department relying on that solution. And looking at the same use case from the perspective of your customer or your vendor will inform how you negotiate contracts for AI technology. The table below illustrates how common legal issues vary across this continuum.
