Part 1: How to use this checklist
Welcome. This is a short, practical checklist for the moment just before you paste something into an AI chat tool at work. It takes about thirty seconds to run, and it helps you keep the useful part of your task while leaving the sensitive part out.
What this set does and does not do
It does:
- Give you a one-page checklist of ten kinds of information to keep out of an AI prompt.
- Give you an "ask first" list for things that depend on your employer's rules.
- Give you a "green-light" list of everyday tasks that are usually low risk.
- Give you a three-question test you can run in your head, and a desk-sized version to print and keep by your screen.
- Show you how to find out what your employer's policy actually says, and how to label AI-assisted work.
It does not:
- Tell you that any tool is safe or unsafe. Tools, settings and company agreements differ, and they change.
- Replace your employer's written policy. If your workplace has one, that policy wins over anything here.
- Give legal, IT-security or HR advice. It is general information and a set of questions to ask.
