Cielo's philosophy on artificial intelligence

Cielo's Commitment to Sustainable AI Operations

At Cielo, we believe artificial intelligence (AI) can create better experiences, improve how work gets done and help people make more informed decisions. As a company dedicated to helping organizations build outstanding workforces, we see AI as a powerful tool that enhances human capability rather than replacing it.

Our approach is grounded in a simple principle: technology should serve people. AI should make work more productive, information more accessible and decisions more informed, while respecting the dignity, privacy and uniqueness of every individual. As AI continues to evolve, we are committed to using it responsibly, transparently and in ways that reflect our values.

AI is already transforming how organizations work and how people experience work. We recognize both the opportunities and responsibilities that come with that transformation. By balancing innovation with accountability, we aim to use AI in ways that are trustworthy, human-centered, transparent, fair, secure and aligned with our values. In doing so, we help organizations succeed, empower people and contribute positively to the future of work.

Human-centered by design

People must remain accountable for important decisions. AI can analyze information, identify patterns, automate repetitive tasks and generate recommendations, but it should support human judgment rather than replace it. Decisions that affect people, careers, clients and communities require appropriate human oversight. The best outcomes come from combining the strengths of technology with the experience, empathy and judgment that only people can provide.

Building trust through transparency

Trust through transparency is essential to the successful use of AI. We are committed to being clear about when and how AI is used in our services, products and operations, and about the role it plays in supporting outcomes. We will continue to assess and improve our work practices as technology, expectations and regulations evolve.

Fairness and inclusion Cielo serves diverse organizations and individuals around the world. We believe AI should support fairness and inclusion, not reinforce barriers or bias. We work to identify, monitor and manage risks that could result in unfair treatment, discrimination or unintended disadvantage. Creating equitable experiences requires ongoing learning and improvement.

Protecting privacy and confidential information

Respect for privacy is fundamental to responsible AI. We are committed to safeguarding personal information, client data and confidential business information. Data should only be used for legitimate, approved and lawful purposes. Information will not be used to train or improve AI models without appropriate authorization and lawful permission.

Safety, security and reliability

AI systems should perform consistently, responsibly and securely. We seek to use AI tools that are reliable and appropriate for their intended purpose. Because AI systems can make mistakes or produce inaccurate information, we apply oversight, governance and controls designed to reduce risk and promote safe, effective use.

Accountability for our actions

Responsibility for AI does not belong to technology. It belongs to people. Cielo leaders, teams and partners are accountable for how AI is selected, implemented, managed and used. Clear ownership and governance help ensure responsible outcomes and build trust with clients and stakeholders.

Continuous learning and improvement

As AI evolves, so do the opportunities, risks, expectations and regulations that shape its use. Rather than viewing responsible AI as a destination, we see it as an ongoing discipline. We are committed to learning, adapting and improving through engagement with clients, colleagues, industry experts and the broader community.
