Professional AI Usage Guide

1. Verify before you ship

• Cross-check facts, citations, statutes, dosages, prices, and dates with authoritative sources.
• Re-read AI-generated outputs end to end before sending or publishing.
• Treat AI outputs as drafts, not finished work.

2. Maintain confidentiality

• Avoid pasting confidential, regulated, or proprietary information into third-party AI tools.
• Strip identifiers, redact specifics, and use synthetic examples where possible.
• Check your employer's AI policy before connecting AI tools to work systems.

3. Respect employer and professional policies

Your employer, your profession, your regulator, and the platform you publish on may impose obligations on AI use. Follow them.

4. Avoid over-reliance

AI is a tool, not a substitute for expertise. Use it to widen your thinking, not to replace it. If a task requires professional judgment, that judgment must come from you.

5. Exercise professional judgment

You remain responsible for everything you sign your name to. Review, refine, and own the final output.
