===== Purpose =====

Staff AI training helps employees understand how to use AI tools responsibly, securely, and effectively.

Training should focus on practical use, limitations, privacy, human review, public trust, and agency-specific rules.

===== Core Training Topics =====

  * What AI tools are approved for agency use
  * What information may and may not be entered into AI systems
  * How to review AI-generated content
  * Common AI errors, hallucinations, and limitations
  * Privacy, confidentiality, and cybersecurity expectations
  * Public-records and retention considerations
  * Appropriate and prohibited use cases
  * When staff must seek supervisor, legal, IT, privacy, or procurement guidance
  * How to document AI-assisted work when required

===== Essential Staff Rule =====

AI-generated content should be treated as a draft, recommendation, or research aid unless an authorized agency process says otherwise.

Employees remain responsible for reviewing outputs before relying on them in communications, reports, decisions, recommendations, or public-facing materials.
