HUMAN SIDE OF AI
Extraction and Analysis of Organization's Policy

To create a workflow for automating the extraction and analysis of an organization's policy or position on a specific issue, we need to focus on several key steps: identifying relevant documents, extracting the necessary information, analyzing the content, and presenting the results in a useful format. Below is a suggested workflow that could be implemented with AI tools to assist the team.

Document Collection: Gather all relevant documents that may contain the organization's policy or position on the issue.

Data Sources: Internal databases, emails, meeting minutes, reports, websites, and public statements.

  • Document Scraper (e.g., Diffbot, Scrapy): For scraping data from websites and internal sources.

  • Email Extraction Tool (e.g., Sift): To scan emails for relevant discussions.

Document Categorization and Tagging: Organize and tag documents according to relevance to the policy or position.

  • Natural Language Processing (NLP) Tools (e.g., Jacquard, IBM Watson NLU): To automatically categorize documents based on keywords and sentiment.

  • Document Management System (e.g., SharePoint, Google Workspace): For storing and managing tagged documents.

Content Extraction: Extract specific sections of text that pertain to the organization's policy or position on the issue.

Sentiment Analysis & Key Phrase Extraction: Analyze the sentiment of the extracted content and identify key phrases that represent the organization's stance.

Policy Position Synthesis: Summarize the findings into a clear and concise report outlining the organization's stance.

  • Summarization Tool (e.g., GPT-based summarizers, Quillbot): To automatically generate summaries of the analyzed content.

  • Document Generator (e.g., Microsoft Word Automation, LaTeX): For compiling the results into a formal report.

Review and Human Oversight: Ensure accuracy and provide context where the AI may have missed nuances.

  • Collaboration Platform (e.g., Slack, Teams): To facilitate team reviews and discussions.

  • Manual Review Process: Assign team members to review and verify the final output.

Presentation and Reporting: Deliver the final analysis in an accessible format.

  • Visualization Tool (e.g., Tableau, Power BI): For creating charts or visual summaries of the analysis.

  • Presentation Software (e.g., PowerPoint, Google Slides): To compile findings into a presentation format.

Key Enhancements Using AI

  • Efficiency: Automates tedious tasks like document collection and categorization, allowing team members to focus on higher-level analysis.

  • Accuracy: AI tools can quickly sift through large volumes of data to extract relevant information, reducing the risk of overlooking critical documents.

  • Scalability: The workflow can easily scale to handle more documents or issues without additional human resources.

Example Workflow in Action

For example, a policy analyst might use this workflow to evaluate the organization’s position on environmental sustainability. The AI tools would gather all relevant documents, categorize them, extract pertinent statements, and analyze the sentiment. The final report would provide a comprehensive overview of the organization's stance, ready for presentation to stakeholders.
