Write an AI-use statement
Clients hand over details of their income, health and family, and increasingly ask whether an adviser uses AI and where that information goes.
The prompt
I work in marketing at a financial advice firm. Help me write a short statement about how we use AI in our marketing. Context: Clients hand over details of their income, health and family, and increasingly ask whether an adviser uses AI and where that information goes. Before you start, ask me for anything missing from this list: - Which AI tools we use and for what - What a person always checks - What we never put into AI tools Then: 1. Say plainly what AI does and does not do in our marketing. 2. Say who checks the output. 3. Keep it under 150 words. Give me: - A statement for the website - A one-line version for footers - Questions a client might ask, with answers Rules: - Use only the facts I give you. Where something is missing, write [detail needed]. Never invent a number, a name, a quote or a source. - Give general financial information only. Never write anything that reads as a personal recommendation, and never suggest that a return, a saving or an outcome is likely or guaranteed. - Write in plain English, in our voice if I have given you a sample. - Do not tell me what the rules or regulations say. If something may be restricted, flag it and I will check. Finish with a list headed "Check before this goes out". Include these, plus anything else our compliance officer or whoever approves our financial promotions should see: - That the statement matches what advisers and staff really do - What it says about client data and confidentiality - Approval by the compliance officer and senior management
Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot. It will ask you for what it needs.
Check before this goes out
- That the statement matches what advisers and staff really do
- What it says about client data and confidentiality
- Approval by the compliance officer and senior management
The prompt gives you a first draft. Someone qualified still approves anything a client will read.
