New to AI?

Start with a small, safe step.

Four short questions will give you one place to start, one safe exercise, and one next step.

AI basics before your first course

A short orientation for safer first steps

AI tools generate answers from patterns in their training data. They do not understand a task like a person, and confident wording can still be incomplete, biased, made up, or out of date.

Choose a low-risk task

Begin with public, made-up, or your own non-sensitive material. Avoid tasks where a wrong answer could affect health, safety, employment, education, finances, rights, or another person.

Keep private information out

Do not enter personal, workplace, client, student, health, financial, or identifying information into an unapproved public tool. Check your organisation's rules first.

Give clear instructions

Say what you need, the useful context, any limits, the format you want, and what the tool must not make up. Clear requirements matter more than provider-specific prompt tricks.

Check the result

Compare claims with the original or another trusted source. Check names, dates, quotations, calculations, links, missing details, and changes in certainty before using the answer.

Keep a person in charge

A person remains responsible for important decisions. Stop when privacy, consent, source support, accountability, or the risk of mistakes cannot be managed.

Try one safe exercise

Optional: if you already have access to an approved AI tool, take a short public paragraph and ask for three plain-language bullets, then mark every unsupported addition or missing qualification. You can complete the same comparison yourself without a tool. Do not upload a real private document.
