AI governance check: common questions
About the free AI governance self-check.
Is the AI governance check free?
Yes. It takes about two minutes and there’s no sign-up. Your answers stay on the page and aren’t saved or sent anywhere unless you choose to send them to us.
What is AI governance?
Simple rules for how your business uses AI: which tools are allowed, what information can go into them, who checks the results and who is responsible. It lets your team use AI without putting customer data or your reputation at risk.
Does a small business need an AI policy?
If anyone in your business uses AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot, a short written policy helps. It tells staff which tools are approved and what must never be typed into them, such as customer details or passwords.
Is it safe to use ChatGPT or Copilot at work?
It can be, with the right setup. Use business accounts rather than personal free ones, keep confidential information out unless the tool is approved for it, and have a person check anything AI writes before it goes to a customer.
Does the Privacy Act apply to AI?
Yes, if AI tools handle personal information. The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) has published guidance on using commercially available AI products. This check is general guidance, not legal advice.
Can Geekheads help us use AI safely?
Yes. We can write your AI policy, set up Microsoft 365 Copilot safely, tidy up file sharing and permissions, and train your team.
