Digitalist’s overall strategy regarding AI: We see AI as a tool that helps people, not as a replacement for them. We believe that employees with AI proficiency will outpace those without it, so we’ll provide the support and tools that enable us to integrate AI into our daily work and make us all feel comfortable working with these tools every day.
By treating AI as a colleague, we can speed up routine tasks, focus more on meaningful projects and stay ready for whatever comes next. This approach will help us deliver better results to our clients and create an engaging environment where everyone can learn and stay curious.
We also predict AI as a part of most things we will deliver for our clients; dedicated AI-systems, applications with AI-support or just services where AI has been used to produce the deliverables.
After many years of following the development of AI and machine learning and witnessing the advent of generative AI, we decided at the beginning of 2023 to incorporate AI into our operations, to actively pursue its implementation, to learn more about its capabilities and to truly start leveraging AI in our business.
At Digitalist Open Tech, we use AI as a working tool for our everyday job-related tasks. We also build specific AI services for internal use as well as for our clients.
We know that both we as employees and our clients are affected by how we build AI services and how we use them and in the long run - society as a whole.
Our AI initiatives directly support Digitalist's business strategy by enhancing our service offerings, improving operational efficiency, and creating value for our clients. We implement AI tools and develop AI solutions that strengthen our competitive position while adhering to our ethical principles.
When evaluating AI initiatives, we consider their alignment with business objectives, value creation potential, resource requirements, and risk profile. We regularly review our AI projects during business planning to ensure they continue to support our strategic goals.
The purpose of this AI policy is to ensure that Digitalist provides, uses or delivers compliant artificial intelligence (AI) tools responsibly, transparently, and in a manner that respects individual privacy, fosters trust, and promotes fairness. This policy applies to all employees and subcontractors who interact with AI tools on behalf of Digitalist.
All employees and subcontractors that we work with are responsible for adhering to this policy and ensuring that we only work with trusted AI tools and that no prohibited data is shared with AI tools.
This policy covers any AI tool used within Digitalist and any data processed or shared by these tools, regardless of its format or storage location. This includes both company-approved (trusted) AI tools and any other (untrusted) AI services.
This policy also covers when we deliver AI-tools for clients.
