1. Purpose and scope
This information explains the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) within Gottwald GmbH & Co KG.
It is addressed to customers, suppliers, business partners, applicants and other interested parties, and provides transparent information about the principles we follow when using AI systems.
2. Principles for the use of AI
Gottwald GmbH & Co KG uses artificial intelligence to support selected business processes, in order to continuously improve quality, efficiency, service and innovation.
AI is used only in compliance with the applicable legal, regulatory and contractual requirements.
The following principles apply in particular:
- lawful and responsible use of AI
- use of approved AI systems and AI applications only
- protection of personal data and confidential information
- compliance with copyright and licence terms
- traceability and transparency of use
- appropriate human oversight of AI-supported processes
3. Data protection and information security
AI systems are used with appropriate technical, organisational and contractual measures to protect the information processed.
Personal data is processed solely on the basis of the applicable legal provisions.
Information security, data protection, confidentiality and data integrity are given high priority when AI systems are used.
4. Confidential information and company data
Confidential information, trade secrets and personal data are handled according to how much protection they need.
Before information is processed in AI systems, we check whether the use in question is compatible with the applicable legal, contractual and organisational requirements.
5. Human responsibility and quality assurance
AI systems support employees in carrying out their tasks, but they do not replace professional review or business responsibility.
Results from AI systems are checked and assessed appropriately before they are used.
Decisions of legal, technical, economic or safety-related significance are not taken solely on the basis of AI output.
Responsibility for decisions always remains with the people responsible within the organisation.
