AI Usage Guidelines at Brainforge
This document defines how AI should and should not be used at Brainforge.
AI is a productivity tool, not a decision-maker.
1. Approved Uses of AI
AI may be used to:
- Draft documents
- Summarize transcripts
- Rewrite for clarity and tone
- Organize notes
- Generate first-pass structures
- Identify gaps or inconsistencies
AI accelerates thinking but does not replace judgment.
2. Disallowed Uses of AI
AI must NOT be used to:
- Invent facts or requirements
- Make legal or compliance decisions
- Finalize pricing without review
- Commit code or docs without human review
- Replace SME input
3. Human Accountability
Every AI-generated output must be:
- reviewed by a human
- fact-checked
- aligned with real client discussions
The human is always responsible for correctness.
4. Avoid Hallucinations
AI may confidently generate incorrect information.
To reduce risk:
- Provide clear context
- Use templates
- Run accuracy checks
- Ask AI to flag uncertainty
- Compare against source materials
5. Sensitive Information
Do not:
- paste confidential data unnecessarily
- expose private client information outside approved repos
- share sensitive outputs without review
Always follow internal data handling policies.
6. Iterative Improvement
Use AI iteratively:
- generate
- review
- refine
- review again
Quality improves through iteration.
7. When to Escalate
Escalate to a PM or lead if:
- AI outputs conflict with client expectations
- requirements are unclear
- scope boundaries are uncertain
- sensitive decisions are involved
8. AI Is a Tool, Not an Authority
AI helps you work faster.
It does not replace:
- judgment
- accountability
- responsibility
- expertise
Use AI thoughtfully and deliberately.
