​AI Guidelines

Responsible Use of AI – Common Guidelines for All Learners & Professionals

​

1. AI is a Support Tool, Not a Substitute
   Use AI to assist thinking, learning, and problem-solving—not to replace your own effort, judgment, or creativity.

2. Think First, Then Use AI
   Clearly define your goal or question before using AI. Good thinking should guide tool usage, not the other way around.

3. Verify Before You Trust
   Always check AI-generated information for accuracy, bias, and relevance using reliable sources.

4. Be Honest and Transparent
   Acknowledge when and how AI has been used in assignments, projects, or professional work.

5. Protect Privacy and Data
   Never share personal, confidential, or sensitive information with AI tools.

6. Use AI Ethically and Respectfully
   Do not use AI to plagiarize, mislead, manipulate, or harm others. Respect copyright and intellectual property.

7. Apply Human Judgment
   Decisions, conclusions, and accountability must remain human-led—especially in academic, professional, and ethical contexts.

8. Reflect on Impact
   Consider how AI use affects learning, fairness, inclusion, and society. Use it to contribute positively.

9. Learn Continuously
   AI tools evolve. Stay informed about their capabilities, limitations, and responsible use.
