Effective Date: August 16, 2024

At The Commonwealth Citizens Council (“CCC”), we are committed to responsibly leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to support our mission of advocating for father involvement and community well-being. This AI Policy outlines how we use AI technologies, our commitment to ethical practices, and our approach to safeguarding user data.

1. Purpose of AI Use
We use AI to:

Enhance user experiences through personalized content and recommendations.
Improve operational efficiency, such as automating routine tasks.
Analyze data to better inform our advocacy initiatives and program development.
2. Ethical Principles
Our use of AI is guided by the following principles:

Transparency: We are open about when and how AI is used in our services.
Accountability: CCC takes full responsibility for the outcomes of AI-driven processes.
Fairness: Our AI systems are designed to avoid bias and ensure equitable treatment for all users.
Privacy: AI tools are used in compliance with our Privacy Policy, and personal data is handled securely and confidentially.
3. Data Handling and Security
AI systems are trained using anonymized and aggregated data wherever possible to protect user privacy.
All data collected for AI purposes is stored securely and used only for the specific purpose for which it was collected.
We do not sell or share data with third parties for their independent use.
4. Human Oversight
AI is used to augment, not replace, human decision-making. Key decisions affecting our programs and stakeholders are reviewed and approved by qualified personnel.

5. Continuous Improvement
We regularly monitor and update our AI systems to ensure accuracy, fairness, and alignment with ethical standards. Feedback from users is actively encouraged to refine and improve AI applications.

6. Limitations
While AI is a powerful tool, it is not infallible. CCC recognizes the limitations of AI technologies and takes steps to address errors or unintended outcomes swiftly and transparently.
