and reviewing bias or errors in generative AI outputs requires an
appropriate level of expertise and experience. Accordingly, it may
not be appropriate to encourage the use of generative AI by staff
members who have not yet developed such capacities. In addition,
some organizations deliberately assign tasks such as drafting
statements or organizing meeting minutes to newer staff members
as part of their capacity-building and training process. If generative
AI were to take over these tasks, it would offer little benefit for the
learning and skill development of new members. Therefore, even if
an organization does not impose a blanket restriction on the use of
generative AI, it may adopt a policy that limits the use of generative
AI in work-related tasks by specific members for a certain period of
time.
4) Collaboration with External Partners
When collaborating with other organizations or external individuals,
or when receiving contributions for the organization’s activities, the
organization shall inform external partners in advance of its generative
AI policy or consult with them regarding the application of this policy.
Civil society organizations frequently engage in coalition work with
other organizations or collaborate with external contributors such
as writers, freelancers, and experts. If an organization’s internal
generative AI policy is not shared with or agreed upon by partner
organizations or external collaborators, there is a risk that jointly
produced outputs may conflict with the organization’s policy or
