Important Reminder: Privacy
Your direction, your judgment, and your final approval remain the most critical components in the process.
Ultimately, AI is a tool to augment your intelligence, not replace it. It is a powerful force multiplier that can handle the administrative, repetitive, and time-consuming aspects of your work, freeing you to focus on the tasks that require uniquely human skills: strategic thinking, leadership, empathy, and ethical judgment.
The AI can generate a first draft, but your expertise is required to refine it. The AI can analyze data, but your wisdom is needed to interpret the results and make a decision. The AI can execute a task, but your oversight is essential to ensure it is done responsibly.
The Mitigation Protocol
Publicly available AI tools, even subscription-based ones, should not be considered secure environments for sensitive information. Any text you enter into a prompt could potentially be stored, reviewed by developers, or be exposed in the event of a data breach.⁴⁴ ⁴⁷
Do not input any sensitive personal, financial, or proprietary company information into a public AI tool. If you would not be comfortable posting the information on a public website, do not put it in a prompt.⁴⁹ Always anonymize data before using it.
