As companies start relying more on AI-powered tools to help increase productivity and efficiency, they need to think about creating policies that can address any ethical, practical or legal issues, writes Richard Marcus, head of information security at AuditBoard.

According to a Gartner survey, more than half the organizations that use AI have policies in place. But, as Marcus points out, building a solid rulebook now can help prevent plenty of headaches in the future.

Though there’s some information missing from Doola’s deck, resident pitch expert Haje Kamps found a lot to like: The company really seems to know its audience and does a good job explaining the problems it’s trying to solve in one simple slide.
