How to Stay Safe with AI Tools

With a few simple precautions, you can protect your personal and work information while still getting the benefits of AI.

• Don’t share sensitive data, like personal details, passwords, or confidential work information into chatbots or AI tools. Treat AI like a public forum: assume your inputs could be stored or seen by others.
• Understand what’s stored and shared. Read privacy policies to know how your data is used.
• Stick to trusted tools from reputable providers that you can verify. Unverified AI tools may misuse your data or even introduce malware.
• Think before you click - AI generated links, downloads, or attachments may be malicious.
• Use AI responsibly: Remember, AI assists but doesn’t replace human judgment. Always verify outputs, especially for important decisions.

AI is a tool, not a replacement for you. By staying informed and cautious, you remain in control of your personal and work data. Safe AI use starts with awareness and responsible choices.
