[Church name] guidelines for using AI tools
1. Purpose. AI tools may help our staff and volunteers save time on drafting, summarizing, scheduling, translation and design, so we have more time for people.
2. People stay responsible. A named person reviews and approves anything AI helps produce before it's published, preached, sent or shared. AI output is a draft, not a final word.
3. Protect personal information. Don't enter names, contact details, prayer requests, pastoral-care notes, giving records or information about minors into AI tools, unless the tool is approved by [role] for that use.
4. Be honest about use. If AI meaningfully shaped something we publish, we're open about it when asked. We don't present AI-generated images or audio as real events or real people.
5. Check facts and sources. Verify quotations, scripture references, statistics and claims against the original source before using them.
6. Approved tools. [Role] keeps a short list of approved tools and accounts. Use church accounts, not personal ones, for church work.
7. Review. We review these guidelines every [6/12] months, or sooner if our tools change.
