AI Policies Versus Manifestos Podcast - What's Your AI Manifesto? 

AI Policies Versus Manifestos Podcast - 

What's Your Ai Manifesto? 

Thanks for listening to the AI Moment podcast today. 

In this podcast we tackle the hot topic of AI policies vs AI manifestos. 

Why? Standard AI policies are often restrictive, focusing on what employees cannot do. While necessary for legal and IT security, these "dumb" policies can stifle innovation and encourage "shadow AI"—the secret use of unapproved tools.

We recommended our solution: to create an "AI manifesto" alongside the policy. 

Why? 

  • A manifesto is a proactive and visionary document that outlines how the company will use AI to achieve its goals. 

  • It acts as a set of encouraging guardrails, defining opportunities, aligning with company values, and promoting experimentation within safe boundaries.

This dual approach empowers teams in departments like marketing and sales to innovate responsibly. 

The core executive takeaway: By first establishing a vision and guiding principles with a manifesto, companies can foster a positive and productive AI culture, ensuring the technology is used effectively and safely, rather than being driven underground by fear of breaking rules.
