Before You Paste That Into AI

A quick safety checklist for confidential information and AI-generated answers.

Back to library

01 / Check the tool

Is this AI product approved for the work and data involved? A personal account is not automatically authorized for company information.

02 / Check the input

Remove names, client details, employee records, financial information, passwords, and other restricted material unless your organization explicitly permits it.

03 / Check the output

Verify citations, numbers, legal or policy statements, and anything that could affect a person. AI can sound confident while being wrong.

04 / Check the next action

Know who approves the result and whether the output needs disclosure, attribution, or additional review.
