LESSON 7

Responsible AI

Learning objective: Use AI ethically and responsibly.

Understand

Using AI well means using it responsibly.

Responsible use means being honest about AI's involvement, protecting privacy (do not paste secrets), avoiding harm, and keeping a human in the loop for important decisions. You are accountable for what you do with AI output.

Analogy: Responsible AI use is like driving: the tool is powerful, but you are responsible for where it goes.

See It in Action

Simple responsible-use rules:

- don't share private/secret data
