AI Policy for Nevada Cancer Coalition
Purpose and Scope
This policy outlines the ethical and responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies at Nevada Cancer Coalition. It applies to all staff, volunteers, and partners involved in AI implementation and use.
Definition of AI
AI refers to a machine's ability to perform tasks typically associated with human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, and acting. AI tools include websites or programs that use AI to perform tasks or enhance human work.
Guiding Principles
Our AI use is guided by:
- Fairness: Ensuring non-discriminatory and unbiased use of AI systems
- Transparency: Being open about our AI use and decision-making processes
- Accountability: Maintaining human oversight for all AI systems and outputs
- Privacy: Protecting data privacy and security in AI applications
- Mission Alignment: Leveraging AI to further our nonprofit mission and values
Implementation
AI Tool Selection: We carefully evaluate AI tools before adoption, prioritizing open source and nonprofit-focused solutions.
Use Cases: AI may enhance our operations in:
- Data visualization and digital illustration
- Writing assistance for grants, blogs, speeches, and social media
- Meeting transcription and summarization
- Translation
- Research and data analysis
Training: All staff and volunteers receive training on ethical AI use and appropriate tools before using AI for coalition work.
Human Oversight: We maintain human review and decision-making for all critical functions. AI augments human efforts but does not replace human judgment entirely.
Transparency: We clearly communicate which organizational functions use AI and how it is applied.
By adhering to these guidelines, Nevada Cancer Coalition aims to harness the benefits of AI while maintaining ethical standards and transparency in our operations.
