AI Literacy & Responsible Use

Practical guidance for using AI tools effectively, responsibly, and with confidence at work.

Prompt Essentials

Be Specific

Vague prompts produce vague outputs. Always define your audience, purpose, and desired format before running a prompt.

Give Context

AI tools perform better when they understand the situation. Include relevant background, constraints, examples, and tone guidance.

Iterate, Don't Settle

Your first output is a draft, not a final answer. Refine your prompt based on what the AI returns.

Check Before You Send

Always review AI outputs for accuracy, tone, and appropriateness before sharing with colleagues, customers, or stakeholders.

Responsible Use Checklist

Before you use AI at work, ask yourself:

Tick each item as you confirm it for your task.

Is this task appropriate for AI assistance?Does my prompt include sensitive, confidential, regulated, or personal data?Has my organization approved the AI tool I'm using?Will I review and validate the output before sharing it?Should I disclose that AI was used for this work?Does the output meet our quality, tone, and policy standards?
