Stay Safe with AI

Artificial Intelligence is changing how the world works. Our mission is to ensure you have the tools and knowledge to navigate this new landscape with confidence and peace of mind.

Too Sure, Too Fast

If the answer sounds completely certain on a question that should involve nuance, treat that confidence as a warning sign. Ask it what it is unsure about or what could change the answer.

Facts With No Source

When AI gives facts, rules, or comparisons without showing where they came from, do not assume they are reliable. Ask for the source and verify the key claim yourself.

Specific Details From Nowhere

Invented names, numbers, dates, fees, or quotes can look convincing because they are precise. If a detail matters, check whether it appears in the original document or a trusted source.

Misses the Real Question

A polished answer can still be unsafe if it solves the wrong problem. If it ignores your actual goal, rewrite the prompt or break the task into smaller parts before using the result.

High-Stakes Advice Without Caution

Be careful when AI gives direct advice about health, money, law, safety, or official paperwork without warning you to double-check. In important situations, use AI for questions and preparation, not final decisions.

Pushes You to Act Before Checking

If the output leads straight to sending, paying, filing, signing, or deciding, pause first. Review the original source, compare with one trusted reference, or ask a human before acting.
