Using Generative AI

Generative AI is becoming a popular tool for content creators to conduct research, discover design options, and explore editorial approaches. However, using these technologies may create risk for our customers, partners, and users and for Autodesk. 

As a result, Autodesk has developed a policy and guidelines around the use of generative AI. These use cases don’t require special approval:

  • Using Autodesk GPT (SSO required)
  • Using AI tools that are governed by a license agreement signed by Autodesk; check with your Legal Business Partner and the Procurement team to understand the scope of use
  • Experimenting with DALL-E, with the following restrictions:
    1. Without providing any confidential, proprietary or personal information of Autodesk business, employee, customer or partner as the input or prompt
    2. Without using or incorporating the output in any customer or employee facing products, offerings or content
    3. Clearly marking any outputs or results as being generated by such AI system

For any of these use cases, you must follow these rules:

Do not use bots for assisting search on any generative AI tool

Do not use a generative AI tool to search for personal information of any individual

Do not use a generative AI tool to create offensive or unlawful content

Do not include any confidential, proprietary, or personal information of Autodesk (business or employee), customer, or partner in your inputs or prompts

Always fact-check all text outputs

  • Externally facing text outputs must be rephrased, fact-checked, and reviewed by your Legal Business Partner or Brand, depending on use.
  • Internally facing outputs must be fact-checked and marked “Generated by AI” if used as-is.

Any other use cases require review and approval by our Governance Committee for Generative AI. Please fill out the Generative AI Request Form (SSO required) to get started.
