upon by each organization itself. This policy framework does not seek to prescribe a set of rules that all organizations must follow. Instead, it aims to provide a foundational framework to help each organization design a policy that aligns with its own context and values. At the same time, the framework presents basic principles that serve as reference points when using generative AI. Organizations may use these principles as a reference to adapt the provisions of this guideline—by revising, removing, or adding specific clauses—to develop an internal policy appropriate to their own context. This guide and policy framework should not be misunderstood as encouraging or promoting the use of generative AI. There may be organizations or activists who choose not to use generative AI for a variety of reasons, including insufficient gains in efficiency, concerns about environmental impacts, or discomfort with the technology itself. The purpose of this guide is strictly to propose the minimum standards under which generative AI should be used, if an organization chooses to use it at all. Civil society’s role goes beyond that of a mere user of AI; it includes demanding the development of trustworthy AI and the responsible use of AI technologies. Accordingly, an AI policy for civil society functions not only as an internal operational guideline but also as a form of social policy advocacy. If organizations build upon this policy framework, adapt it to their own contexts, and put it into practice, they can contribute to the formation of a culture of responsible AI use. 52 53
