Practice Setup: Your Task List and Boundary Note
Unit ID: AIT-M01-U05 Estimated active time: 15-20 minutes
Why we prepare first
Before using AI tools heavily, prepare two simple documents:
- A personal AI task list.
- An AI-use boundary note.
These are not formal policies. They are learning tools. They help you use AI with more care.
Personal AI task list
Create a list with three columns:
| Task | Possible AI help | Review needed |
|---|
Example:
| Task | Possible AI help | Review needed |
|---|---|---|
| Draft a meeting follow-up | Create first draft and action list | Check facts, owners, tone, and missing decisions |
| Plan a study session | Create checklist and time blocks | Check timing and match to real deadline |
| Summarise safe article notes | Create short summary | Check claims against the original source |
Start with five safe tasks. Do not include private data.
AI-use boundary note
Now write a short note that starts like this:
I can use AI tools to help me draft, organise, summarise, plan, and review safe material. I remain responsible for the final output.
Then add your boundaries.
Examples:
- I will not paste private, confidential, or sensitive data into unapproved tools.
- I will verify important claims before using them.
- I will not use AI to make important decisions about people.
- I will ask for human review when the output affects money, health, education, employment, legal rights, or safety.
- I will reject outputs that I cannot explain.
Keep it visible
This boundary note is not just an exercise. Keep it near your prompt templates.
When AI feels fast and easy, this note helps you slow down.
Quick practice
Write your first version now:
- Five safe tasks where AI may help.
- Three things you will always review.
- Three things you will not share with an AI tool.
- Three cases where human review is required.
You will use this in the Module 1 activity.
