The lessons
Lesson 1 · 4 min
What AI is, and what it isn't
- A chatbot predicts likely words from patterns in huge amounts of text. It doesn't look things up the way a library does, and it doesn't 'know' things the way a person does.
- It can sound sure of itself and still be wrong. Confident tone is not evidence.
- It has no feelings, memories of you, or opinions of its own, even when it writes as if it does.

Lesson 2 · 4 min
When to ask AI, and when to think first
- Your brain gets stronger from effort. If AI does the hard part, you skip the part that makes you learn.
- Try the problem first. Then ask for a hint, a check of your work, or an explanation of the step you're stuck on, not the final answer.
- Good uses: explaining a concept another way, quizzing you, checking your reasoning. Poor uses: writing the essay for you, answering a test you're meant to take yourself.

Lesson 3 · 5 min
Checking AI answers
- AI can invent facts, quotes, numbers and sources that look real. This is often called 'hallucination'.
- Check important claims against a trusted source: a textbook, an official website, or a teacher.
- Ask: Can I find this somewhere else? Does the source actually exist? Does the math work when I redo it?

Lesson 4 · 4 min
Privacy and safety
- Don't share passwords, your home address, ID numbers, health details or other people's private information with a chatbot.
- What you type may be stored or reviewed. Treat it like a message that others could read.
- AI is not a friend, doctor, lawyer or therapist. For anything serious, talk to a trusted adult or a professional.

Lesson 5 · 4 min
Fairness and bias
- AI learns from human writing, so it can repeat human stereotypes and unfair assumptions.
- Images, voices and videos can be faked. Check where media came from before you believe or share it.
- Notice when an answer leaves people out or treats a group unfairly, and question it.

Lesson 6 · 4 min
Using AI honestly
- Follow your school's or workplace's rules about AI. When unsure, ask.
- Say when you used AI, and how. Passing off AI work as your own is dishonest.
- You are responsible for anything you submit or share, even if AI helped write it.
