1. Purpose

This statement explains how Recreo Consilium approaches the responsible use of artificial intelligence, automation and digital content tools.

Recreo Consilium is an Independent Advisory Practice. We use technology to support professional work, not to replace professional judgement.

2. Our position on AI

Artificial intelligence can assist with research, drafting, analysis, organisation of information and administrative efficiency. Used responsibly, it can improve the quality and speed of professional work.

However, AI tools do not hold professional responsibility. They do not understand a client's circumstances in the way an adviser must. They may produce incomplete, inaccurate or misleading outputs. For that reason, AI-generated material must be reviewed, tested and approved by a competent human before it is relied upon or issued.

3. Human judgement remains central

The Recreo Standard is built around independent judgement. AI may support the process, but it cannot become the adviser.

  • Professional conclusions must remain the responsibility of Recreo personnel.

  • Recommendations must be based on evidence, experience and reasoned judgement.

  • AI outputs should be treated as drafts, prompts or analytical support unless independently verified.

  • No material client decision should be based solely on AI-generated content.

4. Confidentiality and client information

Confidentiality is fundamental to the advisory relationship. Client information must not be entered into public or uncontrolled AI systems unless this has been authorised, is contractually permitted and appropriate safeguards are in place.

Where AI tools are used, Recreo should consider the sensitivity of the information, the tool provider's terms, data retention arrangements, security controls and whether the information could be used to train external models.

5. Accuracy and verification

AI-generated outputs must be checked for accuracy, relevance and completeness before use. This is particularly important where content relates to legal, technical, financial, regulatory, health and safety or commercial matters.

  • Check factual claims against reliable sources.

  • Confirm calculations, figures and dates independently.

  • Review any legal or regulatory references for current applicability.

  • Ensure technical recommendations are reviewed by a competent person.

  • Record assumptions where AI-assisted analysis has informed a draft.

6. Authorship, copyright and originality

AI may assist with drafting, but Recreo remains responsible for the final content it publishes or issues. We should avoid copying protected third-party material, presenting AI-generated content as independently verified expertise, or using content where ownership or permissions are unclear.

7. Transparency with clients

Where AI use materially affects the preparation of client deliverables, Recreo should be prepared to explain how it was used and what human review was undertaken. The level of disclosure should be proportionate to the nature of the engagement, client expectations and contractual requirements.

8. Prohibited or restricted uses

The following uses are prohibited or require director approval:

  • Entering confidential client information into public AI tools without authorisation.

  • Using AI to make final professional recommendations without competent human review.

  • Generating or submitting misleading evidence, fabricated citations or unverified technical claims.

  • Using AI to impersonate individuals or misrepresent authorship.

  • Using AI tools in breach of client contracts, confidentiality obligations or data protection requirements.

9. Website and digital content

Website content, articles, publications and social content may be supported by digital tools. However, all public content should be reviewed to ensure it is accurate, clear, original, appropriately sourced and consistent with the Recreo Standard.

10. Review and governance

AI tools and legal expectations are developing quickly. This statement should be reviewed at least annually and whenever Recreo adopts new AI tools, client requirements change or relevant law and guidance develop.
