15. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE PRIVACY POLICY

  1. Purpose 

The purpose of Archive Intel’s AI policy is to ensure legal and ethical use of AI technology.  The guidance below defines acceptable and prohibited uses and outlines employee obligations related to the use or development of AI models and applications. 

  1. Scope

This policy applies to All applicable parties – may include, but not be limited to, employees’, contractors’, directors’ and/or third parties with access to critical or high-risk systems or customer or employee PI use of AI applications or development of internal AI  models.  This policy applies to the use of those applications on company devices and/or personal devices when used for work purposes.

  1. Key Context

AI refers to an artificial intelligence technology that synthesizes new versions of text, audio, or visual imagery from large bodies of data in response to user prompts. AI models can be used in stand-alone applications or incorporated into other applications such as internet search engines or word processing applications.

AI Model: A computational system that performs tasks that typically require human intelligence.

Data: Any information, whether personally identifiable or not, collected or processed by AI models.

Third-Party Tools or Platforms: External applications or services that use AI models but are not controlled by the primary organization.

If you have any questions about what constitutes AI, AI Model, Data and Third-Party Tools or Platform, please contact Al Tafur, 720-637-0700, al@archiveintel.com

 3.1 Privacy, Security and Confidentiality: Information is shared with an AI tool by user prompts, or a series of instructions or questions for the tool. Generally, providing access to information constitutes sharing data with the tool. The sharing of data potentially makes confidential or sensitive information public as the tool may train its model on the data shared. In some cases, data that has been anonymized could be linked to personal information and become exposed. Any customer or employee personal information, company proprietary information or intellectual property, or otherwise confidential information entered into the prompt may appear in other users’ output. Therefore, users of AI should avoid entering any information into a AI tool which they do not want to be made public or is otherwise restricted by law or policy.

3.2 Verification of AI Output:   Outputs created by AI tools may provide fictitious answers, these are sometimes referred to as hallucinations. Furthermore, many open-source AI models are often trained on large, publicly available datasets (e.g., through data extraction of public webpages). The outputs may therefore contain copyrighted information, or others’ intellectual property. While ownership in many of these cases is unclear, users should err on the side of caution and not use any output that contains material they suspect to be under copyright protection in any materials, internal or externally facing.

Users of AI tools must also be aware that they incorporate any biases of the data sets that were used to train them. This modeling bias may not always align with (Company’s) core value of Innovation, Integrity, Customer-Centricity, Reliability, Compliance, Collaboration, Accessibility and Transparency (https://archiveintel.com/about-us/) and our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. Therefore, model output may make systematic errors or favor certain groups, leading to unfair or discriminatory outcomes.   Users of AI must adhere to existing review processes where AI  is used to make decisions or provide analysis of information that may be subject to bias.

Using output from AI tools without reviewing it for accuracy places the company at risk and may harm Archive Intel’s reputation with customers and employees. 

3.3 Transparency: Consistent with our code of conduct and other policy, we aim to provide our employees, third parties, and customers with transparency regarding how we use AI to support our work. All content generated using AI must be clearly identified on any outward-facing content.

3.4 Third-party risk: Data if any sent by Archive Intel to third parties could be used in the third party’s use of AI tools. Uses include, but are not limited to, training new AI models, providing updated information for existing AI models, and improving the user experience. Sensitive information input into unapproved AI applications may appear as output for individuals outside of the company. Not using AI in accordance with this policy may violate Archive Intel’s contractual obligations with customers or vendors or, in some cases, violate applicable law.

 3.5 Data Sharing

Third-Party Agreements: Ensure that third-party tools or platforms adhere to equivalent data protection standards. Establish data-sharing agreements that specify data usage, security measures, and responsibilities.

 Access Control: Limit access to data to only those third-party tools or platforms that require it for legitimate purposes. Access should be granted on a need-to-know basis.

 Anonymization: Wherever possible, data should be anonymized before sharing to minimize privacy risks.
