Responsible AI Use Policy

To establish clear principles and expectations for the responsible use of artificial intelligence tools in our organization's programs, services, and operations.

This policy applies to all Inspirational Hope staff, volunteers, contractors, board members, and technologies used in our programs, services, and operations.

We commit to using AI tools only for purposes that align with our mission, values, and the best interests of the older adults we serve. We will ensure AI is used to augment, not replace, human judgment and compassion.

The Executive Director is responsible for overseeing implementation of this policy. The Board of Directors provides governance oversight and approval. All staff and volunteers are responsible for compliance and for raising concerns when they arise.

Concerns about this policy should be reported to the Executive Director at bethany@inspirationalhope.org or through our confidential reporting process. Retaliation against anyone reporting a concern in good faith is strictly prohibited.

This policy is reviewed at least annually and may be updated as technology, cybersecurity risks, legal requirements, and organizational practices evolve.
