AI Work Basics – What AI Can and Cannot Reliably Do

Lesson 2: When to Slow Down and Check

Lesson Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students should be able to:

  • Explain the idea in plain words.
  • Use the idea on a small practice task.
  • Check whether the AI answer is useful enough to keep.

Lesson Content

AI is most useful when you know when to trust it less. Slow down when the answer affects money, health, legal choices, safety, a customer promise, or someone else's reputation.

Professional Use Case: You ask AI to summarize a refund policy. Before sending the summary to a customer, you compare it to the current policy page and remove anything the AI added without proof.

Student task: Give the AI a pretend policy paragraph and ask it to list what is clear, what is uncertain, and what must be verified before sharing it. Student task help: Use pretend, public, or low-risk practice material. Copying the first AI answer into a text editor means pasting it into a plain text or document editor so you can compare it with your revised answer. A clarification prompt is a short follow-up that tells the AI what to fix, add, remove, or explain. Example clarification prompt: "Make this easier for a beginner, add one concrete example, and show the next three steps as a checklist."

Starter scenario: "Review this pretend policy: Customers can return items within 30 days if unused. Shipping charges may not be refunded. Holiday orders may have different rules. List what is clear, what is uncertain, and what I should verify before sending this to a customer."

Troubleshooting: If the AI only rewrites the paragraph, ask it to stop rewriting and make a verification checklist. If it invents a rule, mark that rule as unverified and remove it.

Quality Rubric:

  • The answer separates clear information from uncertain information.
  • The checklist names what needs proof.
  • You do not use unverified claims in the final message.
