Policy on the Use of Artificial Intelligence

I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY & PURPOSE

This Policy on the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) establishes guidelines for the ethical, responsible, and secure use of AI tools across AfP—both internally and in research publications, policy briefs, and external communications. The goal of this Policy is to unlock ethical productivity gains, rather than explore the various prohibitions of the technology in depth.

Purpose

AfP recognizes that AI tools, when used thoughtfully, can enhance research and administrative efficiency. However, the organization is equally committed to:

●      Protecting confidential and sensitive information from unintended exposure;

●      Maintaining research integrity and authorship authenticity;

●      Ensuring transparency about AI usage to stakeholders, partners, and the public;

●      Upholding organizational values of critical thinking and human-centered analysis; and

●      Complying with emerging AI governance best practices across the peacebuilding and nonprofit sectors.

This Policy is a living document and will be reviewed and updated to track technological developments, legal changes, and best practices in the field.
