Implementation Playbook: Policy, Training, Governance

Ethical AI use is easier when the team has clear rules, approved tools, and repeatable workflows.

A lightweight AI policy starter (outline)

  1. Approved tools list (and prohibited tools)
  2. Data rules: what can/can’t be entered
  3. Risk tiers: which tasks require attorney sign‑off
  4. Documentation: what must be logged
  5. Verification: minimum checks by task type
  6. Incident response: who to notify and how

Training plan (minimum viable)

  • Short onboarding: “AI basics + top 10 red flags”
  • Quarterly refresher: new tools/policy updates
  • Scenario drills (like the Scenario Lab lesson)

Governance loop

{{UPLOAD_ASSET:ai_governance_cycle.png}}

AI governance cycle diagram inspired by NIST AI RMF: Govern, Map, Measure, Manage
A simple governance loop for AI tools: set rules, map use cases, measure performance, and manage risks.

Tip: Keep an “AI incidents & lessons learned” log. Even minor issues help refine prompts, templates, and policy.

Activity: pick 3 rules your team will adopt

Choose three rules you can implement this week. Example:

  • No public AI tools for matter-related work.
  • All AI-assisted citations must be independently verified.
  • Client-facing outputs require attorney sign-off.
