    AI policy basics for operators: what this week changed

    EP002: AI policy basics for operators. This episode translates AI policy concepts into practical operating decisions for leaders, managers, and delivery teams. Episode: 002 Title: AI policy basics for operators Runtime: 10m 30s Host: Michael Hanna-Butros Meyering AI policy works only when it is written as operational guidance people can apply in daily workflows. 00:00 Why AI policy fails in real teams 01:20 Story 1: Claude Sonnet 4.6 and model-change governance 04:40 Story 2: AI infrastructure cost signals and procurement controls 07:40 Action block: policy + change management implementation 09:40 Monday-morning actions + outro Anthropic launched Claude Sonnet 4.6 (February 17, 2026), which reinforces the need for model-upgrade controls and evaluation gates in internal policy. Anthropic announced it will cover electricity price increases tied to data-center growth (February 17, 2026), making infrastructure impact a practical procurement and governance issue. Scope: which AI use cases are allowed, restricted, or prohibited. Data: which data classes may be used with which tools. Controls: review, logging, exception handling, and escalation. Accountability: who owns policy updates and incident response. Add a model-change trigger section to your AI policy (when re-evaluation is mandatory). Add three infrastructure-risk questions to AI vendor intake. Run one manager briefing with a clear script for allowed/restricted use. Audit one active AI workflow for drift between policy and real usage.
