Lesson 1 of 3

What AI can — and cannot — decide

Course progress0%

Learning objective

Define a safe role for AI in a real task.

Start with purpose, not technology

AI can organise evidence, identify patterns and draft options. It does not own the objective, accept consequences or hold professional accountability. A safe use begins with a beneficial purpose and a named person who remains able to challenge, amend, override or stop the outcome.

  • State the intended outcome
  • Name the accountable decision owner
  • Define what the AI may recommend
  • Keep consequential approval with a person
