AI helps. You decide.
Begin with the stance that makes every later AI decision safer: assistance can be delegated, responsibility cannot.
Why this matters
AI can produce confident work without understanding your consequences.
The person using the result remains responsible for deciding whether it is suitable.
The practical bit
Treat AI as capable assistance, not an authority. It can draft, reorganise, compare and suggest, but it does not know which relationships, values or risks matter unless you make them explicit.
Good AI use starts by deciding what remains yours: the goal, important context, quality standard, final judgement and responsibility for the outcome.
What it looks like
A manager can ask AI to organise staff feedback into themes. The manager still decides whether the themes are fair, what context is missing and what action affects people.
AI can suggest a travel itinerary, but you decide whether the pace, cost, safety and experiences suit the people travelling.
Assuming that a polished answer is a decision. Fluency is a presentation quality, not proof that the recommendation fits your situation.
Use your judgement
Try it now
- Choose one task you may use AI for.
- Write what AI may help produce.
- Write what you will personally judge, check or approve.
