Responsible AI Use

Using AI responsibly means watching for unfair answers, protecting your privacy and other people’s, and making the final decision yourself. AI is a helper, not a replacement for your judgement.

From our Digital Guidebook · AI safety tips

In this lesson you will

  • Recognise bias in an AI answer
  • Keep private information out of AI tools
  • Decide when a human must check

AI learns from human writing, including our stereotypes. So it can repeat unfair assumptions about gender, age, religion or where someone is from, and state them confidently.

Real-life example
