The Department of Homeland Security issued policy to enable and encourage responsible use of commercial GenAI tools at DHS to ensure we continuously adapt to the future of work. Part of responsible use at DHS is considering how using these tools might impact privacy considerations. DHS considered these privacy impacts and appropriate mitigations in a privacy impact assessment (PIA). Additionally, the Department’s policy establishes guidelines for the use of commercial GenAI tools by DHS personnel. The policy provides specific requirements and use limitations designed to safeguard data and protect privacy and individual rights. It also lays out a process for obtaining approval to use GenAI tools that includes the completion of training on the responsible use of AI and agreeing to follow rules of behavior when using these tools.
