Prompt 3: You are the direc - tor of environmental health for your county. You use a data management system that captures facilities, permits, fees, inspection results, complaints, etc. Faced with budget pres- sures, what types of reports should I request to help me analyze my entire organiza- tion? Give your top five recom- mendations in a table with the report title and the report description for each.
Prompt 2: You are the direc - tor of an environmental health department. You must make a report to the board of super- visors itemizing the expected impact of new regulation that decriminalizes unlicensed food vendors. Draft a presentation outline.

Sample Policy for Environmental Health Departments on the Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence Purpose and Scope: This policy sets guide- lines for the appropriate use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots such as ChatGPT, GPT-4, Bing Chat, Google Bard, etc. This policy applies to employees using department equipment and networks. Authorized Use: Employees may use gen- erative AI for work-related tasks. The use of chatbots for personal reasons is discouraged and is covered by the existing internet accept- able use policy of the department. Reducing Bias and Harm: Generative AI can reflect cultural, social, and other biases. Employees must review content to avoid unintended biases and harmful or oensive material. For Supervisors, Managers, and Directors Prompt 1: You are the direc - tor of an environmental health department. Your department is about to adopt a 4-day work week for a 3-month trial period. Write a memo to staff explaining the pilot and invit- ing employees to opt in or out. Explain that at the end of the trial period, the department will assess the results and consider a permanent policy.
Security and Privacy: Employees must ensure that the use of generative AI does not compromise the security or privacy of depart- ment information. All communications using generative AI must be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Compliance With Department Policies: Employees must comply with all depart- ment policies, procedures, and guidelines related to the use of technology and commu- nication tools. Monitoring and Enforcement: The depart- ment reserves the right to monitor the use of generative AI on department-owned equip- ment or networks to ensure compliance with this policy. Violations of this policy may result in disciplinary action. Public Records: Employee use of genera- tive AI systems may result in the creation of a public record.
