Generative AI Policy and Legal Terms
Last Updated: May 15, 2024
Privacy Policy
At Attention Horse (“Attention Horse”), we recognize the value in leveraging the use of generative artificial intelligence (“Generative AI”) in our Services (as “Services” are defined in our Terms and Conditions); however, we also believe that Generative AI is a feature of our Services and not a replacement for them. We have therefore created this Generative AI Policy (“Generative AI Policy”) so that our employees, contractors, Clients and Partners understand the importance of the risks inherent in using Generative AI while at the same time mitigating legal concerns, addressing ethics issues, and establishing decision making processes around the use of Generative AI in the workplace and within the Services. This policy applies to all data that is not on Attention Horse Virtual Private Cloud (hosted by AWS) which is segmented by user and Client or Partner.
This Generative AI Policy provides guidance and rules for the responsible use of Generative AI by our employees, contractors, Clients and Partners, so that everyone with access to the Services can continue to access and use Generative AI for the good of the online reputation management industry, without harming individuals, businesses, society or breaking any laws.
Acknowledgement of legal concerns:
Attention Horse acknowledges that the use of Generative AI within the Services and in the workplace raises several legal concerns. To ensure compliance with local, state, and federal laws, our Services (and the personnel involved in the rendering of such Services, if any) will adhere to the following:
1. Data privacy: Ensure that Attention Horse Generative AI tools or features comply with data protection laws, and that any personal or sensitive data is handled with the appropriate care.
2. Fair employment practices: Attention Horse will not use Generative AI to discriminate against any individual based on their protected characteristics, such as race, gender, age, or disability.
3. Intellectual property: Attention Horse ensures that our Generative AI tools or features do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others.
4. Liability: Attention Horse will, to the maximum extent required by law or contract, take reasonable responsibility for any harm caused by the legitimate use of our Generative AI tools or features, and we will maintain insurance coverage to protect against potential legal claims.
AI ethical issues:
Attention Horse recognizes the ethical implications of using Generative AI in the workplace. To ensure that we use Generative AI for the benefit of our employees, contractors, Clients and Partners, as well as society as a while, Attention Horse will adhere to the following principles:
1. Transparency: Attention Horse Generative AI tools and features and use of Generative AI will be transparent, and we will inform our employees, contractors, Clients and Partners about how we use AI and how we use Generative AI and the data we use to power the Generative AI models.
2. Fairness: We will ensure that our Generative AI tools and features are fair and unbiased, and we will regularly evaluate and audit such tools and features to identify and address any biases.
3. Human oversight: We will ensure that our employees have the ability to override any decisions made by our Generative AI tools and features and that human oversight is always present in the decision-making process, when applicable.
4. Privacy: We will respect the privacy of our employees, contractors, Clients and Partners and ensure that any data collected is used only for legitimate purposes and in compliance with any legal confidentiality obligations.
