AI is powerful, but like any tool, it works best when you use it thoughtfully. These basics keep you safe and confident.
🔐 1. Protect your personal information
Avoid sharing:
- passwords
- financial details
- Social Security numbers
- private medical info
Treat AI chats like any online service.
🧪 2. Double-check important answers
AI can make mistakes.
For anything serious — legal, medical, financial — verify with a trusted human source.
🧭 3. Use your judgment
If something feels off, ask the AI to clarify or simplify.
You’re always in control.
🧱 4. Keep boundaries clear
AI is a tool, not a person.
Use it to support your thinking, not replace it.
🌱 5. Start small and build confidence
Try simple tasks first:
- summaries
- meal ideas
- email drafts
As you get comfortable, explore more advanced uses.
AI is here to help — and with a few safety habits, it becomes an incredible everyday companion.
