Two-Day Training Strengthens Information Security and Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence
A two-day training on “Information Security and the Use of Artificial Intelligence” was successfully conducted to strengthen participants’ understanding of how to protect personal and organisational information and use digital technologies more responsibly.
The training emphasised that information security is not a one-time activity, but an ongoing practice that needs to be integrated into everyday work and personal digital habits.
Through discussions and practical exercises, participants reflected on their own digital practices and explored ways to strengthen responsibility for protecting sensitive information, organisational data, and online accounts.
The training also introduced participants to the responsible use of artificial intelligence tools, including potential ethical concerns, privacy risks, and data protection issues that should be considered when using AI in daily work.
Strengthening everyday digital security
Participants discussed several practical measures that individuals and organisations can adopt to improve digital security, including:
- using strong, unique passwords or passphrases for different accounts;
- enabling additional security measures, such as multi-factor authentication, where available;
- avoiding the reuse of the same login credentials across multiple platforms;
- reviewing account security settings regularly; and
- being cautious about sharing sensitive personal or organisational information through digital platforms and AI tools.
The training was organised under the project “Voices of Change – Strengthening Accountability, Transparency and Public Understanding among Civil Society Organisations”, with support from the Press Institute, DW Akademie Asia, and the European Union Delegation to Mongolia.
By strengthening awareness of digital security and responsible AI use, the training contributed to broader efforts to improve the internal governance, accountability, transparency, and digital resilience of civil society organisations.
