Greendale updates personnel manual to restrict AI deepfakes and clarify social‑media terms
Summary
Trustees approved amendments to the personnel manual adding language that AI shall not be used to generate or manipulate images, audio or video of employees, elected officials or the public without consent, and clarified an acknowledgment about compensation and collective bargaining.
The Village Board approved revisions to the personnel manual that clarify social‑media acknowledgments and add explicit restrictions on AI‑generated likenesses.
Staff said the social‑networking acknowledgment was amended to note that use of social networking does not entitle employees to extra compensation beyond regular pay "except as otherwise required by an applicable collective bargaining agreement or law." The AI policy change adds that AI shall not be used "to generate, modify, or manipulate images, video, or audio depicting village employees, elected officials, or members of the public without their specific prior consent."
Trustees expressed support for the additions, citing the rapid advancement of synthetic media and concerns about misuse; the Board approved the changes on roll call.
