Writing an AI Policy for Your Association

Association professionals using artificial intelligence (AI) most often are in marketing/communications, knowledge management and member services. And why not? AI saves time, improves efficiency, engages members, enhances content, provides better learning opportunities, simplifies data gathering and analysis, improves events while enhancing advocacy efforts.

While AI certainly has many positive attributes, there are a few downsides. To prevent these, association executives should be asking these questions:

• Is the data verifiable?
• Did the information originate from a trusted source?
• How old is the data? (Data before 2020, pre-COVID, may not be relevant.)
• Could your association experience an unintended disclosure of information?
• Do you understand AI use as it pertains to copyright laws? Can you even claim copyright when using AI?
• What are the appropriate and inappropriate uses of AI for your association?
