Lead UWG Inc.’s AI program: strategy and governance, the working policy and compliance framework, training for every department, the approved-tools and AI tagging systems, the biweekly governance meetings, and the operations platform that replaced Workfront.
Lead UWG’s AI Strategy & Governance. Authored the UWG Working Policy on Artificial Intelligence (May 2025, 20 pages). Designed the compliance framework. Facilitated the 2026 training sessions with Amilcar Priestley on Legal & Compliance. Run the biweekly governance meetings and maintain the tools protocols that keep the work compliant.
The agency’s AI program, from the policy to the meeting that keeps it current.
Every new tool and every new use goes through the same cycle, and nothing stays approved without being looked at again.
every tool on the approved and gated lists is reviewed again each cycle
AI-assisted creative work passes three reviews in order. It ships only when it clears all three.
Four pieces of writing hold the program together.
Acceptable use, compliance boundaries, approval routing, client confidentiality and model selection. May 2025, 20 pages.
The checks every piece of AI-assisted creative passes before it ships.
What to use, what not to, how to verify and how to log, taught to every department.
Co-authored in November 2025, drawing on Harvard’s AGENT framework.
UWG works in a high-context, multicultural, legally sensitive, fast-moving creative environment. AI changes what ships, what’s safe to ship, and what gets called authentic. Someone has to set the ground rules before that question becomes a crisis.
The policy, the training, the tagging, the review ladder — these exist so every creative team can use AI without compromising the craft, the culture, or the client. That’s the whole job.
The AI and innovation work is part of the agency’s year.
