Doing it safely
Governance first
Client personal data must stay in secure tools under GDPR — not public AI tools. Before rolling anything out, tidy permissions, put a simple AI usage policy in place, keep sensitive data out of public tools, and keep a human in the loop — all part of our AI Adoption service.
