Bark’s AI Policy

Our Commitment to Ethical and Strategic AI Use

At Bark Communications, we use artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance research, strategy development, creative exploration and operational efficiency.

We view AI as a powerful tool — one that must be used responsibly and under clear human leadership.

1. Strategy Is Human-Led

AI may assist in research, ideation, drafting and analysis.

However:

  • Every strategy is led, evaluated and finalized by experienced professionals.

  • Final recommendations are human-reviewed and approved.

  • Creative direction remains human-led.

Technology may support the process, but accountability and decision-making remain with our team.

2. Brand Integrity Comes First

AI is used to enhance clarity — not fabricate credibility.

We do not:

  • Generate misleading claims

  • Misrepresent clients

  • Publish AI-generated content without professional oversight

  • Substitute automation for strategic thinking

Authenticity and trust are foundational to every brand we steward.

3. Data Protection and Confidentiality

Our clients entrust us with proprietary information and internal strategies.

When AI tools are used:

  • Sensitive information is handled responsibly

  • Confidential data is not entered into unsecured systems

  • Legal and regulatory standards are respected

  • Best practices guide implementation

Trust is protected at every step.

4. Efficiency Without Compromising Quality

AI allows us to:

  • Accelerate research

  • Strengthen analytical insight

  • Improve internal workflows

However, speed never outweighs precision. All client-facing work is subject to human review and professional standards.

5. Responsible Innovation

AI is an evolving technology. Bark Communications is committed to:

  • Monitoring emerging regulations

  • Reviewing tools before integration

  • Ongoing education and oversight

  • Clear internal policies governing use

Responsible innovation is part of our culture.

Our Commitment

At Bark Communications:

Experts lead.
People decide.
Technology supports.

AI is a strategic advantage — never a replacement for professional judgment.
