Why is an AI AUP important for business security?

By defining acceptable behavior, data handling practices, and security protocols, an AI acceptable use policy helps mitigate risks, such as data breaches, malicious use of AI algorithms, and unauthorized access.

Additionally, this policy promotes accountability and ensures that AI technologies are used ethically and responsibly, safeguarding sensitive information, and maintaining trust among stakeholders. A well-crafted AI AUP policy protects against potential threats and also fosters a culture of awareness and compliance regarding AI security measures.

As an organization, it’s important to have an AI AUP that applies to all members within the organization that covers information handling, confidentiality, privacy, and threat management, says James Robinson, CISO of Netskope.
