Is AI safe for UK small businesses?
Yes, when proper governance is in place. This includes clear usage policies, data handling guidelines, staff training on responsible use and regular risk reviews.
Who is liable if AI produces incorrect output?
Your organisation remains responsible for outputs produced using AI tools. Governance frameworks define human review requirements, quality assurance steps and accountability.
How should we handle customer data when using AI tools?
Data handling guidelines define which data types can and cannot be processed through AI tools, how to anonymise sensitive information, and where AI-processed outputs are stored.
Who should own AI governance in an SME?
AI governance ownership typically sits with the senior leadership team or a designated responsible person. Nathan helps you define clear roles, responsibilities and escalation paths.
Does governance cover GDPR and data protection?
Yes. Governance advisory addresses data protection considerations including GDPR compliance, data processing boundaries, consent requirements and data minimisation principles relevant to UK businesses.
