Communication and Training: Develop a comprehensive plan to educate employees about the AUP, including awareness campaigns, training, and recognition of the policy.

Implement the policy: Effectively communicate the AUP to all employees, collect signed acknowledgements, and make the policy easily accessible in company documentation and digital platforms.

Monitoring and enforcement: Establish mechanisms to monitor AI usage, enforce compliance, and promptly remediate violations.
Incident response: Establish protocols for reporting and handling AI-related incidents to ensure prompt investigation, resolution, and necessary remediation.

Ongoing evaluation and improvement: Regularly review the AUP, collect feedback, and make necessary updates to keep pace with evolving AI technologies and regulatory requirements.
