How to Start Using AI Safely
A gentle first step into AI tools like ChatGPT — what to type, what to skip, and how to stay in control.
What You'll Learn
- What AI chat tools actually do (in plain words)
- How to ask a good first question
- Signs an AI answer might be wrong
Try This
- Open a free AI tool and ask it to explain something simple you already know.
- Notice where it gets things right — and where it makes things up.
Stay Safe
- Never paste passwords, banking info, or full ID numbers.
- Treat AI like a helpful stranger, not a trusted expert.
