Accountability

We believe in the power of connections

At MovingWorlds, we're embarking on our AI journey with a deep sense of responsibility. We recognize the potential of AI-powered technology to enhance our internal operations and better serve our social enterprises and partners. However, we firmly believe that AI should complement, not replace, our team's expertise and the human-centered approach that defines our work.

The power of MovingWorlds is in our ecosystem, which relies on the human connections between all of our partners. By using AI responsibly, we can streamline routine tasks and enhance our analytical capabilities, ultimately enabling us to dedicate more time and resources to fostering meaningful connections and driving positive impact across our network.

This approach guarantees that AI technologies at MovingWorlds will be implemented with transparency and ethical considerations at the forefront, ensuring that they enable us to better serve our ecosystem partners and contribute towards a more just and sustainable world.


Tool Selection

We believe in continuous improvement

At MovingWorlds, we are continually exploring innovative tools that enhance our workflows and enable us to better serve our stakeholders. Employees are encouraged to explore and employ AI tools responsibly and consider the following:

  • Model Details: Understand the underlying mechanisms and capabilities of the tool.
  • Intended Use: Consider the specific applications for which the tool is designed.
  • Ethical Considerations: Assess the ethical implications associated with its use.
  • Data and Privacy: Ensure compliance with data protection regulations and respect for user privacy.

By leveraging our team's expertise in ethical AI practices, we are confident that this approach will foster responsible innovation within our organization.


Our AI Usage Rules

We do what’s right over easy

At MovingWorlds, we have three simple rules to guide our organization on its AI journey that supplement our data and privacy policies. These rules are designed to foster innovation while ensuring responsible and ethical AI usage.

  1. We will always review AI-generated outputs before they are used.
  2. We will clearly inform users when they are interacting with AI systems or AI-generated content.
  3. We will prioritize our users’ rights and needs when user data might be consumed by AI.

These three rules form the foundation of how AI is used at MovingWorlds. When used together, they allow us to harness the benefits of AI while maintaining strong alignment with our ethical standards and our commitment to a more just world.


Addressing Specific Issues

We are invested in systems change

Bias

We are cognizant of the biases that AI tools can perpetuate. While our list of approved AI tools has filters to minimize bias and harmful outputs, we are committed to using AI that is inclusive to all and furthers our mission of building a more just and sustainable world.

Privacy

The privacy of our ecosystem partners is a top priority, and we will never input sensitive customer data into AI tools or Large Language Models (LLMs). In combination with our commitment to employing AI tools with privacy top of mind, our approved list has been vetted and selected for their robust privacy policies.

Safety & Security

Any AI systems at MovingWorlds must be designed, developed, and used with a focus on safety and security. MovingWorlds will prioritize the protection of individuals and society from potential harm and will work to minimize risks associated with AI technologies.

Ethical Considerations

Our tool selection and vetting process puts ethical considerations at the center. While AI enhances our team’s expertise, no AI-driven output will be implemented without human review, ensuring alignment with MovingWorlds' values. In all external interactions, we will transparently disclose AI involvement and pledge never to use AI to mislead or deceive our users.

Environmental

We acknowledge the environmental impact of AI technologies and will strive to develop and use AI technologies in a manner that promotes environmental and social sustainability, minimizing negative impacts on the environment and communities.


Training Employees on AI Usage

We keep the people that we’re serving at the heart of our work

A critical part of this policy is ensuring that everyone at MovingWorlds is equipped with the skills and awareness of how to put this policy into action. All employees engaging in AI-powered work will have a baseline understanding of AI ethics and implications and practical skills to identify and mitigate potential AI-related risks.

By raising awareness and skill-building across our organization, we aim to use AI responsibly, ensuring that these technologies benefit not just MovingWorlds but also our wider community of partners and stakeholders. We believe that fostering an ethical approach to AI will help us maximize the positive impact of our work while reducing potential risks.


Implementation & Continuous Improvement

At MovingWorlds, we recognize the complexity of ethical AI and are committed to staying abreast of technological developments and potential changes in our AI usage. This implementation plan accounts for the rapidly evolving nature of AI:

  • Policy Awareness: Every employee will be well-versed in this policy and understand their role in upholding it. We believe that awareness is the first step toward responsible AI use.
  • Continuous Improvement: As the AI landscape is constantly evolving, we commit to reviewing and updating this document annually. We also pledge to keep all stakeholders informed of any changes to this policy, ensuring transparency and collaboration.
