Corporate Generative AI Usage Guidelines — With Sample Entries
A draft internal AI use policy to announce alongside your training. Written as clauses, it covers what must never be entered, approved tools, checking outputs and citing sources, and how violations are handled. Versions for manufacturing, finance and hospitals swap in industry-specific classification examples and clauses, so you only need to change the company name.

What’s in this document
- Purpose, scope, and definitions
- Table of permitted and prohibited inputs by information level
- Approved tools and the process for approving new ones
- Output verification, source attribution, and copyright
- Employee pledge and department checklist
- 3 industry variants — manufacturing, finance & insurance, hospitals & healthcare
How to use it
- Before you announce the policy, align with your data protection and legal teams on the list of information that must not be entered. This table is the heart of the guidelines.
- Listing separate allowed uses for personal free accounts and company accounts reduces confusion among staff.
- The industry variants are built so you only swap the Article 5 classification examples, the Article 6 prohibited items, and add-on articles such as Article 15-2. You don’t need to renumber any articles.
- Don’t just list prohibitions. Include examples of what is allowed (“here’s how you can use it”), and employees will be less likely to use AI in secret.
- Before you announce the policy, check the current text of each cited law once more on the National Law Information Center.
- Reading the guidelines together at the start of training and collecting signed pledges gets better compliance than an announcement alone.
