BELA Asks: How Should I Message on AI Use & Policy?

In this episode, Erica Salmon Byrne, BELA Executive Chair, answers a high-level member question on how E&C teams should communicate expectations around the proper use of AI and what an organization’s AI policy might be. As we often say, it comes down to message, messenger, and modality.
