The BEX AI Usage Policy aligns the values of the Business Excellence Institute (BEX) with the responsible use of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), while ensuring respect for intellectual property and the protection of proprietary content.
By adhering to the BEX AI Usage Policy, members can harness the benefits of emerging technologies responsibly. Committing to these principles not only promotes individual excellence but also fosters a culture of integrity, respect and accountability throughout the organization.
Principles
- Integrity and Honesty: Members are expected to maintain exemplary standards of integrity and honesty in their use of AI technologies. This includes adhering to all relevant laws and ethical guidelines.
- Respect for Stakeholders: The use of AI should strive to achieve win-win outcomes for all stakeholders, considering their interests and requirements in accordance with our overarching strategy.
- Ownership and Accountability: Members are accountable for their use of AI technologies which includes taking responsibility for AI-driven outputs, decisions and the resulting consequences as well as ensuring due diligence in their application.
- Commitment to Excellence: AI technologies should be employed to enhance results and drive excellence across all dimensions of the organization, aligning with the goal of not merely being the best but being the best that we can be.
- Protection of Intellectual Property: Members must respect intellectual property rights by ensuring that proprietary content is not misused or disclosed without proper authorization. This aligns with our responsibility to safeguard our contributions and those of our stakeholders.
- Compliance with the Code of Conduct: Members must adhere to the Code of Conduct, avoiding any actions that may bring BEX or its members into disrepute when utilizing AI tools and resources.
Responsible Use of AI
- Transparency: Members are encouraged to use AI technologies transparently, making it clear when AI is employed in outputs and decision-making processes.
- Informed Decision-Making: Members should use AI as a tool to enhance, rather than replace, human judgment, ensuring that all AI-generated outputs are critically evaluated before implementation.
- Safeguarding Data: All data used in AI applications must be handled in compliance with data protection regulations, ensuring that personal and sensitive information is safeguarded.
Reporting and Compliance
Members are required to report any breaches of this AI Usage Policy, just as they would with the Code of Conduct. Non-compliance may result in disciplinary actions, including suspension of benefits or expulsion from the Institute.
