1. Introduction

This AI Policy outlines the ethical use, responsibilities, and guidelines for AI-driven tools developed and provided by Happy Business Company (“the Company”), registered in Scotland under number SC518154, with its registered office at 1 Waterloo Bank, Penicuik, Midlothian, EH26 8NS. This includes, but is not limited to, custom AI models known as Catalysts, Superheroes, and JulieBot.

This policy sets clear expectations for both the Company and its users regarding the ethical and responsible use of AI-driven tools while ensuring compliance with applicable UK laws.

2. Scope

This policy applies to all AI-driven tools and systems created, maintained, or used by the Company. The term “Generative AI” refers to artificial intelligence models capable of producing text, images, or other outputs based on user inputs.

Generative AI is not directly regulated in the UK; however, its use intersects with laws related to data protection, intellectual property, accuracy, and bias. This policy ensures that the Company’s AI tools are used ethically and responsibly while minimising risks such as misinformation, data misuse, and unintended bias.

3. Company Responsibilities

The Company, as the creator and provider of Generative AI tools, is responsible for:

  • Ensuring that all AI-driven tools are designed and updated in compliance with UK laws and ethical AI practices.

  • Providing clear documentation on the appropriate use of AI models.

  • Addressing concerns regarding bias, accuracy, and data privacy in AI-generated outputs.

  • Implementing safeguards to prevent misuse of AI tools and maintaining transparency in AI-generated content.

  • Monitoring and updating AI models as necessary to ensure fair, ethical, and effective use.

4. User Responsibilities

Users of AI-driven tools, including Catalysts, Superheroes, and JulieBot, must:

  • Use AI tools responsibly and ethically, ensuring outputs comply with applicable laws and do not promote misinformation, discrimination, or harm.

  • Not input confidential, sensitive, or personal data that they do not have the legal right to use.

  • Understand that AI-generated content should be reviewed and fact-checked before publication or commercial use.

  • Not assume AI-generated content is free from bias or inaccuracies and must verify its appropriateness before applying it to business or marketing materials.

  • Adhere to intellectual property guidelines by ensuring that AI-generated content does not infringe on copyrights or trademarks.

5. Data Protection & Privacy

The Company complies with the UK GDPR, Data Protection Act 2018, and relevant privacy laws to ensure that personal data is handled appropriately when used in conjunction with AI tools. Users must:

  • Ensure that they do not use AI tools to process or store personal data unlawfully.

  • Follow the Company’s Data Protection Policy when interacting with AI-driven tools.

  • Be aware that AI-generated outputs may be influenced by training data and should not be assumed to be private or proprietary.

6. Intellectual Property Rights

Users acknowledge that:

  • AI-generated outputs may be subject to intellectual property laws, depending on the nature of the AI tool and its training data.

  • The Company retains ownership of all AI tools and systems it develops.

  • Users are responsible for ensuring that AI-generated content does not infringe on third-party intellectual property rights.

  • Any AI-generated content used commercially must be appropriately reviewed and, where necessary, attributed in accordance with copyright laws.

7. Accuracy & Bias in AI Outputs

AI models rely on historical training data and algorithms that may contain biases or inaccuracies. Users should:

  • Verify the accuracy of AI-generated content before publishing or acting on it.

  • Understand that AI-generated responses do not guarantee factual accuracy and should not be used for legal, financial, medical, or other critical decision-making without independent verification.

  • Report any observed inaccuracies or biases to the Company for review and improvement.

8. Transparency & Labeling

To maintain ethical AI use, all AI-generated content should be labeled clearly. The following guidelines apply:

  • Any substantially AI-generated content must be disclosed where required, especially in customer-facing materials.

  • Users should clearly differentiate between human-created and AI-generated materials when publishing or distributing content.

9. Reporting Misuse & Concerns

If users suspect misuse, bias, or ethical concerns regarding AI tools, they should report these issues to:
