These principles are designed for everyone, offering a foundation for using Gen-AI responsibly across different roles and activities. 

The principles are: 

• Be a data custodian: You are responsible for knowing when the data you provide to AI services requires protection, ensuring its appropriate use and safeguarding as needed. 

• Be transparent and accountable: Inform others about AI involvement and ensure its outputs are appropriate and accurate before use. 

• Be aware of limits and capabilities: Understand both the potential and the boundaries of AI to navigate its use effectively and responsibly. 

• Be curious: AI is constantly developing, so staying informed is key. Cultivating curiosity will help you navigate developments and opportunities with confidence and adaptability. 

This guidance is a starting point for responsible AI use and will continue to evolve over time. The first draft of the guidance is now available AI Guidance at Loughborough.
