1. Pause

What do we want AI to help with? What would be better handled by a person, book, teacher, or experiment?

2. Protect

Circle anything that should stay out of a chat: password · exact address · private image · health detail · someone else’s name/story · school login · none of these.

3. Probe

Write one question that asks the tool to explain its assumptions or uncertainty.

4. Prove

What source, person, or real-world test will we use to check an important answer?

5. Reflect

What did the human contribute? What would we change next time? When would we stop using the tool?

Remember: a confident answer is not the same as a verified answer. If a conversation feels unsafe, private, or upsetting, stop and involve a trusted adult.
