Our Work
Artificial Intelligence is changing how organizations of every size operate, communicate and serve their communities. At Main Street Ottumwa, we believe AI should be embraced thoughtfully—using it to improve productivity and accessibility while maintaining transparency, protecting privacy and preserving authentic human relationships.
To help guide that approach, we've developed our own AI Governance and Responsible Use Policy and created a simplified model policy that local businesses and organizations are welcome to adapt for their own needs.

Main Street Ottumwa's AI Governance and Responsible Use Policy
Our AI Governance and Responsible Use Policy establishes the standards that guide how Main Street Ottumwa uses artificial intelligence in our day-to-day operations. It outlines our commitment to human oversight, data privacy, authenticity and responsible innovation while encouraging staff to use AI productively and ethically.
Model AI Policy
Not every organization has the time or resources to develop an AI policy from scratch. This model policy provides a simple, practical starting point for small businesses, nonprofits and community organizations looking to adopt AI responsibly. We encourage organizations to customize it to fit their own operations and needs.
