This blog helps the management team make boundaries and direction explicit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to lose yourself is to introduce AI without clarity about what it may and may not be used for. Technology is never neutral; every AI system carries an underlying view of human beings. Are people a cost item or a source of meaning? Are mistakes risks, or raw material for learning? Is deviation undesirable, or a sign of professionalism?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Three decisions about intention<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1) What may AI contribute to?<\/strong><br>Explicitly connect AI to strategic goals: better services, shorter turnaround times, less administrative burden. And be even clearer about what AI must never replace: moral final judgment, the conversation with employees, the relational core with customers\/citizens.<br>Example sentence:&nbsp;<em>\u201cAI supports the work of professionals; it never makes final decisions about people without human judgment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2) Which values may never come under pressure?<\/strong><br>Choose 3\u20135 values (e.g. human dignity, fairness, reliability, transparency, inclusion) and translate them into design principles: the right to an explanation, room for disagreement without repercussions, logging of human overrides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3) Red lines and no-go\u2019s<\/strong><br>Be explicit about what you will&nbsp;<em>not<\/em>&nbsp;do: no hidden performance profiling; no automatic refusals in vulnerable cases without a counter-judgment; no emotion monitoring without a compelling reason and employee participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Undercurrent: what people really hear<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>People listen less to words than to practices. Is your first pilot about monitoring? The message is: we trust the system more than you. If your AI efforts focus primarily on relieving workload and strengthening professional craftsmanship, the message becomes: we take your judgment seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Approach in 2 hours<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Organize an MT session around three questions: what may AI be used for, which values are non-negotiable, and what are our no-go\u2019s?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Capture this in an AI compass on one page, plus one page with example situations (this is allowed \/ this is not).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Place it next to your vision on leadership and culture: does it match the narrative you want the organization to embody?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What now, what later, what not<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Now:<\/strong>&nbsp;write your one-sentence goal with AI in plain language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Later:<\/strong>&nbsp;test three practical cases against the chosen values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Not:<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cvalue-washing\u201d \u2014 posters with values without design choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reflection question<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Can you already answer this question credibly today:&nbsp;<strong>What may AI be used for in our organization \u2014 and what absolutely not?<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We argue that without intention, AI becomes your new leader.<br \/>\nWe call for clear goals, values, and red lines.<br \/>\nWe ask what AI may \u2014 and may not \u2014 be used for.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[81],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2276","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-english"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dbvp.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2276","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dbvp.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dbvp.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dbvp.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dbvp.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2276"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dbvp.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2276\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2277,"href":"https:\/\/dbvp.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2276\/revisions\/2277"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dbvp.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2276"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dbvp.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2276"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dbvp.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2276"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
