Independence, use of AI, limits

How I work

Before you hire me, you should know where my interests lie, how I use AI and where my advice ends.

My role

I work as an independent advisor to management. I prepare, facilitate, make proposals and put things in context. Your company makes the decisions, and the responsibility for them stays there too.

I answer for the care I put into my advice, for my method and for the confidentiality of your documents. Your company is responsible for running its software, for individual AI results and for complying with the law.

Ethics in your rules

In a company, ethics shows in its rules. In my work it takes the form of limits that apply even when they get expensive, to the managing director as much as to everyone else. There's also a safe way to disagree.

So in every workshop on your rules we also ask what your company doesn't want to do with AI, where nobody should follow an AI result on their own and who is affected by a decision without having been asked. I don't award any seal for ethical AI.

My interests

I don't take commissions from software vendors. For the Management Baseline I use the Organization Twin from Management Insights, where I'm COO. Part of the price goes to that company.

On this website and on organization-under-ai.com I provide tools of my own. If I use one of my own tools in an assignment, I say so beforehand.

How I use AI

I use AI a lot in my work. Programs read documents, pre-sort and lay out reports. I decide myself what of it is correct and what I recommend to you.

I analyze your documents only on my own computer, with a model that runs there. They don't go to any cloud service and don't train anyone else's model. The report says where a language model suggested a text.

Only these routes go through third parties, none of them with your documents. Surveys for the Clarity Call and the Management Baseline run through Management Insights and its platform Alchemer. Newsletter and email contacts are stored with Brevo. I use Cal.com for appointments and Zoom for video calls. The privacy policy lists all providers.

What my reports say

Every report states its basis and its limits. It rests on the documents and information you give me and is meant for your management. They decide themselves what to pass on. A sample report for an invented company (PDF in German) shows what such a report looks like.

A report from me is an assessment and gives no guarantee. It doesn't confirm that your company complies with the law or that a rule is being followed.

Where my advice ends

• I don't check individual AI results or individual people.
• I don't approve anything or decide anything for you.
• I don't run audits or issue certificates.
• I don't advise on legal questions. You clarify those with your lawyer.

Next step

In the Clarity Call we work out whether and how I can help you. If you need one of these limits to be different, tell me there.
