AI Consulting for Business
From strategy to governance,
we help you adopt AI responsibly and stay ahead of the competition.
Artificial intelligence is already in your workplace — whether you've approved it or not. Employees are using AI tools every day to draft emails, summarize meetings, analyze data, and automate routine tasks. The question isn't whether your organization should use AI. The question is whether you're using it responsibly.
Van Ausdall & Farrar helps small and mid-sized businesses and non-profits take full advantage of AI's productivity benefits while protecting client trust, company data, and operational integrity. With over 110 years of experience guiding Indiana businesses through technology change, we're the partner you need to move forward with confidence.
The Risk of Doing Nothing
Without clear guidelines, even well-intentioned employees can accidentally expose sensitive data, violate compliance requirements, or create legal liability. Common scenarios include:
- Employees pasting confidential client or company data into public AI tools
- AI-generated content used in customer-facing communications without human review
- No process in place for reporting or correcting AI misuse
- No definition of which AI tools are approved for work use
The biggest risk isn't AI itself — it's the lack of guardrails.
Our AI Acceptable Use Framework
Van Ausdall & Farrar's AI Acceptable Use Policies and Framework gives your organization clear, practical rules for responsible AI adoption. It's designed to be easy for employees to understand and follow — not a barrier to innovation, but a foundation for it.
The framework addresses:
- Approved tools — which AI solutions are authorized for business use
- Data boundaries — what types of information should never be entered into AI systems
- Human review requirements — when AI-generated content requires sign-off before use
- Incident reporting — a simple process for flagging and resolving AI misuse quickly
Guidance, Governance, and Risk Management
As AI adoption accelerates, organizations are looking to their technology partners for more than just tools. They need guidance, governance, and risk management. Van Ausdall & Farrar delivers all three — helping you move faster, protect your organization, and stay competitive as AI becomes a permanent part of how work gets done.
No one should have to figure this out on their own. Let's build a responsible AI strategy together.
