AI-Ready: what the law expects of you
Three minutes on AI at work — what you're allowed to do, what to watch out for, and why it's your responsibility.
This applies to you too
You may already be using AI without calling it that: a chatbot that phrases a reply for you, an app that transcribes your speech, a program that translates a message from a colleague. The law requires that you, as someone who uses AI in your work, understand what kind of tool it is. Not how it's built — nobody demands that. Just what it can and cannot do.
Three questions you should be able to answer
- What is it I'm using? A tool that suggests — not a reference work with the correct answers. Some can look things up and show sources, others only answer based on what they've learned; they look the same, and it's up to you to know the difference.
- What am I allowed to give it? Which information may leave the building, and which may not.
- Who is accountable for the answer? You. Always you.
Say so when it's AI
There's one duty you should know beyond your own habits: when content is made by AI, it must be clear. If a chatbot answers your customers, they need to know they're not writing with a human; if an image or video is made by AI and depicts something real, it must be labelled. One line is enough — “This draft was made with AI and reviewed by me.” Written from the start it's a disclosure; written afterwards it sounds like an apology.
Remember
Question 1 of 3
Who is covered by the requirement for AI skills?
✓ Correct!
The requirement also applies to those who merely USE AI — and that's most of us by now. It doesn't depend on whether you call it AI.
Question 2 of 3
Who is accountable for an answer you got from an AI and passed on?
✓ Correct!
The tool suggests; you send. Responsibility follows whoever hits send — exactly as with everything else you write at work.
Question 3 of 3
You set up a chatbot to answer customers about opening hours. What does the customer need to know?
✓ Correct!
People must be able to know whether they're talking to a machine. This applies to trivial questions too — and it's a duty in its own right, not a courtesy.
