This checklist provides a framework for using AI responsibly when analyzing employee feedback and other qualitative data. It helps HR professionals determine which AI-supported activities are appropriate, which require human oversight, and which should not be delegated to AI.
Included in this resource:
- Three AI suitability zones for qualitative analysis:
- Green Zone – Permitted AI-supported activities.
- Amber Zone – AI-assisted activities requiring human validation.
- Red Zone – Prohibited AI uses involving judgments or decisions about individuals.
- Governance conditions for each zone covering aggregation, audit trails, human review, bias monitoring, transparency, and restrictions on individual decision-making.
