                                Proper Use of Generative Models of Artificial Intelligence                            
                        
                        
                                                    
                    
                Artificial intelligence (AI) presents new challenges for both organisations and individuals in terms of how to navigate and manage its use. As the guidelines developed at WIFO may be of interest to other research organisations facing similar challenges, WIFO decided to make them publicly available as a Research Brief.            
        WIFO's AI Guidelines provide a comprehensive framework for the ethical and effective use of generative AI in research and administrative support. The guidelines stress the importance of continuous education, transparency, and scientific integrity, forbidding AI in personnel assessments and involving employees in AI governance. Key components include robust technical infrastructure, an AI working group, and internal communication channels. The guidelines highlight personal accountability, human oversight, and strict data protection, ensuring compliance with European laws and fostering responsible AI integration.
