Using AI Safely and Responsibly in Your Business

Practical workshop helping businesses use AI safely, protect sensitive data, manage risks, and create clear workplace AI guidelines. AI can save time and improve productivity, but only when your team knows how to use it safely and responsibly. AI is already being used across businesses to write content, analyse information, summarise documents, research topics, and streamline everyday tasks. But using AI without clear boundaries can create unnecessary risks, from sharing confidential information and exposing customer data to relying on inaccurate outputs or making decisions without appropriate human review. The challenge is not simply getting your team to use AI. It is creating a practical framework for using AI safely, consistently, and responsibly across your organisation. This hands-on workshop is designed to help business owners, managers, decision-makers, and teams establish clear expectations for AI use without creating unnecessary complexity or slowing down productivity. You will explore practical approaches to AI risk management, data privacy, information security, responsible AI use, and human oversight, with a focus on situations your team is likely to encounter in everyday work. Who this is for This session is designed for organisations that are already using AI or preparing to integrate it into their everyday workflows: • Business owners and leaders responsible for AI strategy, productivity, and risk • Managers and team leads establishing practical expectations for AI use • Teams using AI tools for content, research, analysis, administration, or workflow support • Data and information professionals working with sensitive or business-critical information • Operations and support teams looking to use AI more consistently and responsibly • Organisations that need a practical starting point for AI governance and internal AI guidelines What we will do together • Identify common AI risks: Explore where businesses can encounter problems when using AI, including privacy, confidentiality, inaccurate outputs, inappropriate use, and over-reliance on AI-generated information. • Protect sensitive information: Learn what types of business, customer, employee, financial, and confidential information should be kept out of AI tools. • Build practical AI usage guidelines: Develop clear expectations for how your team can use AI across common workplace tasks. • Introduce human review: Establish simple checks for verifying AI-generated content, analysis, and recommendations before they are used or shared. • Create a practical risk management approach: Identify common risks in your own workplace and consider proportionate controls that support safe AI use. • Prepare your team for responsible AI integration: Turn general principles into practical resources your organisation can use immediately. What you will take home By the end of the workshop, you will develop practical resources to support safe and responsible AI use in your organisation, including: • An AI Safety Checklist for everyday workplace use • Internal AI Usage Guidelines covering practical expectations for your team • A “What Not to Share” Guide for identifying sensitive and confidential information • Practical AI Risk Management Tips for reducing common errors and risks • A clearer framework for human review and responsible decision-making • Practical ideas for integrating AI while maintaining appropriate privacy, security, and governance controls Good to know Please bring your laptop and, if available, your organisation's existing policies or procedures relating to data privacy, information security, confidentiality, or customer information. You do not need to be an AI expert. The workshop focuses on practical workplace situations and is designed to help you move from general concerns about AI to clear, workable guidelines your team can actually use. The goal is not to restrict useful AI applications. It is to establish the right boundaries, safeguards, and review practices so your organisation can use AI with greater confidence. ========================================== Refund and Cancellation Policy Cancellation Windows • 14+ days before: Full transfer to another session or course credit (less platform fees).
