About this episode
Whether you use AI tools yourself or want nothing to do with them, if you share educational materials, run a community, or work with clients, you may want to have a written AI policy. In this episode, I share the one I created for Bloom and Grow, which is still very much a working draft.
In this episode, we cover:
-
Why practitioners who don't use AI still need a policy
-
The four parts of the Bloom and Grow AI policy: note-takers in live sessions, scraping and uploading community content, disclosing AI use when sharing case studies, and keeping forum interactions human.
-
The existence of invisible AI note-takers (the kind that don't show up as Zoom participants)
-
What I can and can't control, and why I chose to include these things in my policy anyway.
-
The difference between a community/course AI policy and a personal AI policy
-
One way that I'm experimenting with AI in my own practice: SOAP note drafting from session transcripts, using a HIPAA-compliant tool with client disclosure.
