An organizational requirement or strong directive for employees to use AI in their work.

Example

A company expects staff to incorporate an approved assistant into certain tasks.

Why people use it

It makes workplace expectations about using AI explicit.

What you'll hear

“Which tasks are we expected to use AI for?”

What this means for you

Clarify suitable uses, exceptions and the training provided.

Can you control it?

Sometimes

Sometimes. Your choices depend on the tool and your access. The settings available to an everyday user may differ from those available to the people running it.

Common questions

Does a mandate mean every task is suitable for AI?
No. Requirements should account for task quality, data rules and available tools.
Can workers be required to use an unapproved personal account?
That depends on the policy. The organization should make approved tools and access arrangements clear.
Does a mandate tell us whether the tool is useful?
No. Actual results still depend on the work, the tool and how people use it.
