KNOWLEDGE YOU CAN PUT TO USE

From an answer to a verifiable basis.

Educational resources for asking better questions and staying in control of AI use. Start with a short exercise. Then take the verification worksheet with you.

Synthetic example

A confident tone is not evidence.

SOURCE MATERIAL
A team used AI to organise 40 anonymised documents. The facilitator checked every output. Working time was not measured.
A fictional description for this exercise. Not an OSFORYOU research finding.

VERIFICATION WORKSHEET / EDUCATIONAL VERSION 1.0

01

Name the claim

Which specific statement needs checking? Separate fact from interpretation.

02

Find its support

Identify a document and passage. A link or citation alone is not enough.

03

Show the limits

What is missing? Is the source current and relevant to this situation?

04

Define oversight

Who checks the output? What needs correcting or stopping?

05

Choose a next step

Use, correct, ask or pause. Record the reasoning.

Check the conditions before using AI

What data do you actually need?

Write down the task and mark the passages you actually need to complete it. Start with a synthetic example. Before using real data, check whether the tool is approved for that use and what information must be left out.

Who can check or stop the action?

Choose an action that could affect someone else. Decide when a person sees the basis for a recommendation, who can reject it, and what happens if there is no decision. Rehearse one case in which the process must stop.
