10 Conclusion

Having studied this course, you now know more about the considerations that need to be made before adopting and implementing GenAI tools within an organisation.

This course has outlined some of the things that individuals and organisations need to think about to mitigate and manage risks posed by GenAI adoption, while supporting efficiency and responsible use. This includes assessing what and why GenAI is being used and monitoring its usage as part of a comprehensive GenAI policy.

Having appropriate policies in place that detail GenAI use within an organisation is particularly important given the fragmented legal and regulatory landscape within the UK at present.

If you are considering using GenAI in your organisation, we suggest you look at the fifth course, Ethical and responsible use of Generative AI, which considers the ethical uses and considerations of AI tools.

For individuals responsible for managing organisations and who want to know more about the risks and concerns posed by aspects of GenAI tools and their use in organisations, we recommend the sixth course, Navigating risk management.

For individuals interested in finding out more about using GenAI, we would recommend the eighth course, Preparing for tomorrow: horizon scanning and AI literacy, which considers the future of GenAI.
