Scenario

You want to ask AI for help, but you are worried about sharing the wrong thing.

01

Trying is safe. Oversharing is not.

Using a reputable AI tool for everyday questions is low risk. The risk rises when you paste private, confidential, financial, medical, legal, or workplace-sensitive information.

02

Use a simple rule

If you would not post it in a public support forum, do not paste it into an AI chat unless your organisation has approved that tool for the data.
