A message from Luis Hernández, Executive Vice-President Digital and Organisation Development • EVP Digital & Organisation Development.
Over the past recent months there has been a surge in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. Properly used, AI solutions can help us bring efficiency and develop new value propositions. However, the rapidly increasing availability of generative AI platforms can also present security risks. These risks could have an impact on biased output, misleading insights, personal and organisational private information leaks, among others.
We strive to leverage digital technologies to continuously evolve how we deliver value as an organisation, and that includes being aware of the risks and ensuring responsible usage. Below you will find a set of institutional guidelines that we should all follow when considering using generative AI solutions:
- All employees will receive appropriate access and authorisation to use our own space of ChatGPT in a secure and controlled environment, where the use of Cemex information will be allowed.
- P&IT must evaluate and approve security policies of all new AI tools before using them incorporating Cemex information.
- All usage of generative AI technology must adhere to relevant laws, regulations, and intellectual property rights.
- All employees must adhere to security measures that will be implemented to safeguard generative AI models and the data used to feed them and their output. Please adhere to these measures and report any potential vulnerability or breaches immediately.
- All data used as input must comply with Cemex’s data protection policy. Avoid using company or personal information in any Generative AI application as it will be treated as public data.
- Generated content from these applications that we want to use must be accurate, reliable, and free from misinformation, biases, or unethical implications.
It is important that everyone takes responsibility for the proper use of digital technologies and avoid any behaviour that could put our company, colleagues, customers, or stakeholders at risk.
At Cemex, we are working to enable training programs and institutional applications so that all employees can leverage these generative AI capabilities in a responsible way. For any comments, questions, or concerns regarding AI, please reach out to security.culture@cemex.com
We appreciate your cooperation in upholding these guidelines and promoting the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence platforms within our company.
