Think Before Pasting Business Information Into AI

AI makes it easy to copy information into a prompt. Convenience can cause employees to forget that business information is still being shared with another system.

Classify the information first

Before submitting content, consider whether it includes customer data, employee records, credentials, financial information, confidential contracts, security details, or proprietary business information.

Understand the approved tool

Different AI services have different business controls, settings, contracts, and data-handling practices. Do not assume every public AI service handles information the same way.

Manage business use with business accounts

Personal accounts can make administration, offboarding, settings, access, and oversight more difficult. Business use should follow business-approved methods.

Train employees before the decision point

Give employees practical examples of allowed and restricted information so they do not have to invent a security decision while trying to finish a task.
