It should make responsible work easier, not bury the studio in abstract compliance language. ## Who this page is for Studio leadership, quality managers, partners and employees using AI tools. ## What FT can prepare - Classify use cases such as learning, internal drafting, source extraction and client-facing output. - Define rules for confidential material, personal data, copyright and project documents. - Create source and validation requirements for different output types. - Write a short policy that employees can actually use. ## What the architect validates - Leadership approves acceptable use and consequences of misuse. - Project leads validate output before it affects project decisions. - Legal or privacy advisers review policy where client data or personal data is involved. ## Where the need appears in a studio The need appears when employees use open tools differently, client data may be involved and no one has written down where AI output may enter project work. ## Data sources and method Keep the policy short enough to be used. Separate open chatbot use from source-based internal systems. Update the policy after real pilot experience. - Datatilsynet guidance - EU AI Act context - studio contracts - client data practice - quality routines ## First pilot Begin with a short allowed-use matrix and test it on the next workshop, proposal or project start-up workflow. ## Belief shift An AI policy should protect architectural responsibility and client trust while making safe preparation possible. ## FAQ ### Does a small studio need an AI policy? Yes, but it can be short. The important part is to make client data, sources, review and forbidden use explicit. ### Is an AI policy a legal document? It is an operational rule set. Legal review may be needed, but the policy must also be understandable in daily studio work. ## Sources and basis - [Danish Association of Architectural Firms: Recommendations for AI practice](https://www.danskeark.dk/content/anbefalinger-til-ai-praksis) - [Danish Data Protection Agency: Artificial intelligence](https://www.datatilsynet.dk/regler-og-vejledning/kunstig-intelligens) - [European Commission: AI Act](https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/regulatory-framework-ai) ## Uncertainty and boundaries Regulation, tools and client expectations are changing.
