Charlton Select Board adopts employee AI use policy with clarified oversight language
Summary
The Select Board approved an AI use policy for employees, amending language to change discretionary disciplinary wording from 'may' to 'shall' for specified violations and directing staff to align the policy with existing review procedures.
The Select Board adopted an employee AI use policy on June 16 after a brief discussion about oversight and disciplinary language.
Staff presented a revised draft that lays out permitted and prohibited uses of artificial intelligence for town employees and establishes review procedures. One board member raised a concern about disciplinary language and asked whether consequences should be mandatory for violations; the board agreed to replace the phrase 'may result' with 'shall result' in the oversight and review section where appropriate. The board then voted to approve the policy as amended.
The document will be implemented through existing personnel and oversight procedures and will be provided to employees as part of town policy guidance.
