A practical introductory guide for professionals and small business owners who want to use generative AI without placing confidential or personal information at unnecessary risk.
The guide explains what to consider before entering information into an AI tool, why removing a name may not be enough to protect someone’s identity and how to redesign a prompt using fictional, generalised or deidentified information. It provides a clear starting point for safer everyday AI use.

A seven-module introductory course for professionals and small business owners who want to understand the responsibilities that come with using AI at work.
The course explains privacy, confidentiality, accuracy, human oversight, transparency and accountability in clear professional language. It provides a structured starting point for recognising AI risks and making more informed decisions without requiring technical expertise.

A quick initial screening tool for assessing a proposed professional use of AI before information is entered or an output is relied upon.
The test uses a simple green, amber and red framework to help identify lower risk uses, situations requiring further assessment and uses that may be unsuitable. It is especially useful when a professional needs a clear starting point without completing a full risk assessment.

A practical decision tool for determining whether information is suitable to paste, upload, record, photograph or dictate into an AI system.
The tree guides the user through a series of clear questions about personal information, confidentiality, identification risk and the type of AI tool being used. It leads to one of three practical actions: proceed with generic information, redesign the task or do not use AI.
