Policy on the Use of Artificial Intelligence

Weaving in Beauty uses artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the accuracy and efficiency of our workflows and to create tools that enhance our customers’ shopping experiences. Both uses are intended to free our staff to use their creativity as professional fiber artists. All uses of artificial intelligence are openly disclosed in this policy, which is posted on our website, and in our publications. Use of AI is restricted to users approved by management.

Our uses of AI technology include:

1. Development of inventory control tools customized for our business
2. Use of AI to assist in identification of critical products and development of supply-chain and production improvements
3. Use of AI to produce billing and customer communication that is human-approved before release to the recipient
4. Use of AI to review but not to produce e-commerce and social media content
5. Continual review of developments in the artificial intelligence sector that may be beneficial to our business
6. AI tools may process customer records (orders, class attendance, account balances) under staff supervision. We never use customer data to train AI models or sell it to third parties.

At this time, we are choosing not to pursue AI use in the following instances:

1. We do not use AI chatbots or AI agents that converse with customers. AI-assisted customer messages are limited to routine notices, such as class attendance and account balance updates
2. We do not use AI to create, alter, or enhance any photographs, video, or promotional content
3. We do not use AI to create designs. We do not provide our artwork or images of it for training AI models
4. We do not use AI to produce content or to publish content without human review and approval.
