The Department of Energy has released a comprehensive 61-page reference guide to help its employees and contractors navigate the use of generative AI tools within the agency. The document, which is not a formal policy, provides a framework for responsible AI adoption, including best practices, potential use cases, and guidance on mitigating privacy and security risks. The guide discourages the use of generative AI for confidential or mission-critical information and emphasizes the need for prompt engineering training, bias evaluation, and human oversight. Notably, the document permits the use of ChatGPT, which is available by request, and highlights the importance of acknowledging and citing the role of generative AI in idea formation and invention. The guide is expected to evolve over time, reflecting changes in the technology, market, and regulatory landscape.
