Scenario

You want to use an AI-generated claim in a client-facing document.

01

Match source to stakes

A casual idea may need only your judgment. A claim about money, law, health, safety, or reputation needs a primary or trusted source.

02

Ask AI to help verify, not decide

You can ask AI what to check and where claims might be weak, but the final verification should come from the source itself.

multiple choice

Which claim needs the strongest source before use?

Choose the answer that best fits the principle from this lesson.

Takeaway

The higher the stakes, the closer you get to the source.
