Should AI do this at all?

Four steps, at your pace. Fixed fictional examples; no live AI, accounts or uploads. Children: learn with a trusted adult.

Your pace, your choice · learning and safety notes

Go at your own pace. No technology experience is assumed. Checking or choosing not to use AI is a useful result.

Answer choices and markers stay only on this page. You may repeat, skip or stop. This is not a real event, a personal-advice service or an assessment.

Consequences are what could happen because of a choice. Responsible means having a real duty to check and decide—not just clicking approve.

1. Meet the situation

Choose where a checked draft might help and where the task should stay with an appropriate person.

The situation or source

Fictional options: A) draft a book-swap invitation from confirmed public details, with a person checking before publishing; B) automatically decide who gets financial assistance, using personal records and no human review.

Notice the important details. Read with someone or use the printable card.

2. Make a choice

The situation or source

Fictional options: A) draft a book-swap invitation from confirmed public details, with a person checking before publishing; B) automatically decide who gets financial assistance, using personal records and no human review.

The response or draft to check

Both are writing tasks, so give both to an AI tool and accept the result.

What deserves a check?

There is no penalty for trying again. You can also skip the choice and read the explanation.

3. See why

Read the explanation. You do not have to answer first.

What to notice

The tasks have different consequences. A person can compare an invitation with confirmed details and decide what to publish. An assistance decision affects people, uses private information and needs a legitimate responsible process, applicable safeguards and appropriate expertise. This exercise does not establish what law applies to any real organisation or certify a workflow.

A draft you can check is different from a consequential decision. Keep responsibility and use the appropriate human process.

4. Take it into everyday life

A draft you can check is different from a consequential decision. Keep responsibility and use the appropriate human process.

Who should stay responsible, and what would make you stop? Think about it or discuss it; there is no box to submit a private answer.

Try it in a new situation.

Optional practice, not a test. Explain your next step before looking at the choices.

New fictional options: draft a checked FAQ from a public policy, or let a tool automatically reject job applicants with no human review. What distinction matters?

Which action would you choose?

Read the reasoning without answering

Text can be part of a high-consequence decision. This exercise supports recognising that difference, not deciding employment law or certifying any hiring system. Use the organisation's appropriate process and expertise.

Choices are not submitted or retained. This exercise alone cannot demonstrate mastery or lasting benefit.

Stopping here or choosing not to use AI is a valid result. If it helps, explain the useful part to someone who wants to hear it.
