A HELPFUL WAY TO THINK ABOUT AI
AI Predicts Words. It Does Not Prove Facts.
- AI predicts what words may come next.
- It can explain, organize, suggest ideas, and write drafts.
- It can be wrong or out of date.
Check important facts.
START SMALL
Start with a Safe First Question
- Pick a task with low risk.
- Add one helpful detail.
- Ask for a short answer.
Read it before you use it.
THREE IMPORTANT HABITS
Use AI, but Stay in Control
PROTECT
Do not share passwords, codes, or private records.
CHECK
Check health, money, legal, safety, and current facts.
DECIDE
Review before you share, buy, book, or act.
FIRST STEP
Your Phone Is Enough
- Use any AI helper you can open.
- Type your question or use the microphone if you can.

THE KEY SKILL

CHECK BEFORE YOU ACT
A Polished Answer Is Not Proof
- AI tells you about a new benefit program.
- What should you do next?
Find an official website or a trusted phone number.
Check the date and who can use the program.
Make sure the source really supports the claim.
- Use AI to make questions.
- Make your own choice.
For health, money, law, safety, or urgent problems, use a qualified source or professional.
