!Tips and safety
- Never type passwords, your address or other personal details into an AI chatbot.
- If you do not want to create an account, ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot can be tried without one in many countries, with fewer features.
?Reflection questions (answer them when you submit)
- How many of your 5 examples did you already use before this exercise without knowing they were AI?
- Was the chatbot's answer fully correct when you checked it? What does that tell you?
- Which example could change the way people in your sector work?
✓How your work is assessed
- Five real, relevant AI examples are listed, with at least one from the learner's own sector
- Each example names what the AI does and the correct kind of AI
- At least one chatbot answer has been checked against another source
- The paragraph is in the learner's own words and names one benefit and one limit
You pass with at least 3 of the 4 criteria met (60%). You can improve and resubmit at any time.
