Using AI · Level 4 of 5 · Advanced

Privacy, safety, and fair use

Protect personal and company data, spot AI scams, and use AI output responsibly.

Study notes

Do not paste passwords, full card or account numbers, Social Security numbers, or medical records into an AI tool unless your organization has approved that tool for that data.
Read the tool's data settings. Some services may use chats to improve their models unless you turn that off or use a business plan with different terms.
Follow your workplace AI policy. Confidential client or company information may be off limits in consumer tools.
Scammers use AI voice cloning and realistic fake messages. Verify urgent money requests through a known phone number or in person.
Disclose AI help when your school, employer, or publisher requires it, and respect copyright and other people's likeness.
