AI tools can assist with drafting, summarising, brainstorming and selected information tasks. The quality of the output often depends on the clarity of the instructions and context provided.
What a useful prompt includes
Useful prompts typically define the task, provide relevant background, specify the intended audience and describe the desired format. Where the output must follow a particular structure or tone, saying so explicitly improves the result.
Review before relying
Users should review AI-generated content for factual accuracy, relevance, privacy and bias before relying on it. AI should support, rather than replace, appropriate human judgement and professional accountability.
Protect sensitive information
Sensitive or confidential information should not be entered into AI tools without appropriate authorisation and safeguards. Organisations should establish clear internal guidance on what may and may not be shared.
Build capability, not dependence
Training helps teams use these tools consistently and responsibly. Practical exercises with real workplace tasks are usually more effective than general instruction, because they expose the limits of the tool as well as its strengths.
