AI Ethics & Governance Policy

This policy applies to all staff, volunteers, and contractors using AI tools in LeadWise Foundation programs. Our goal is to ensure AI supports our mission of empowering individuals from marginalized communities while protecting learner rights and promoting equity.

AI tools are used to personalize career pathways, match learners with opportunities, and analyze labor market trends. All AI-generated recommendations are presented as suggestions, and learners retain the right to request human consultation at any time.

To prevent discrimination, regular bias audits are conducted quarterly by internal analysts and annually by third-party experts. Diverse teams, including community representatives, are involved in decisions about data use to ensure technology benefits the communities we serve.
