Purpose and scope
FourSight Technologies Inc. (“FourSight”) uses artificial intelligence (AI) tools to work more efficiently and may help clients adopt them. This policy sets out how we use AI responsibly. It applies to everyone who works for FourSight and to all AI tools, including generative AI, used in our work.
Our principles
- Human oversight. A qualified person reviews AI-assisted work before it is relied on or delivered to a client. AI never makes final decisions about clients, people or security without human review.
- Confidentiality and privacy. Client confidential information and personal information are never entered into public AI tools. They may only be used with tools approved by the Lead Partner under business agreements that keep data confidential and prevent it from being used to train the provider’s models. Personal information is handled under PIPEDA and our Privacy Policy.
- Accuracy. AI output can be wrong. Code, configurations, scripts and security advice produced with AI are checked and tested before use.
- Security. AI tools are subject to the same access controls, multi-factor authentication and supplier review as any other system.
- Transparency. We tell clients when AI materially contributed to a deliverable, and we never present AI-generated content as independent human analysis when it is not.
- Fairness. We do not use AI in ways that discriminate against people on any ground protected by human rights law.
- Accountability. The person who delivers work is responsible for it, whether or not AI was used.
Approved tools
The Lead Partner maintains a list of approved AI tools and the types of information each may be used with. Using an unapproved AI tool for client work is not permitted.
Client requirements
Where a client, including a government client, has its own rules on AI use, those rules apply to our work for that client in addition to this policy.
Raising a concern
Concerns can be raised confidentially by emailing [email protected] with “Confidential” in the subject line. FourSight never retaliates against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.
