Staff want to use AI
Community notes, transcripts, records, or reports may be uploaded for summarization or analysis.
Data, AI, and community information advisory
Help deciding what happens to sensitive information before it moves.
Maybe your staff want to run community notes through an AI tool. Maybe a funder report needs participant stories, or a vendor just switched on a new feature. We help you work out what can go ahead, what needs a closer look, who gets to decide, and what to write down.
You may be here because...
These questions usually come up in everyday work, when someone is up against a deadline or starting to use a new tool.
A vendor added a new feature
An existing platform can now generate, summarize, recommend, or reuse information.
A report needs community information
Stories, quotes, findings, or participant information may enter funder or public language.
A partner wants access
Data, findings, or existing material may move into another organization or system.
Leadership needs an answer
A decision is due soon, and it isn't clear whose call it is.
The same questions keep coming up
Staff need a consistent way to handle them instead of starting from scratch every time.
Why it gets complicated
The risk is often hidden in routine work.
Information collected for one purpose ends up being used for another. Details that seemed anonymous can still identify people. Vendor terms are vague. Leadership signs off without seeing where the information actually goes.
Common pressure points
- limited time
- unclear authority
- incomplete vendor information
- sensitive community material
- downstream reuse
- missing documentation
What you walk away with
A decision you can explain, and steps your staff can follow.
- know what can proceed
- identify what needs to pause
- clarify who must decide
- set conditions for use
- document the reasoning
- give staff usable next steps
