Why this matters

AI should extend human capability, not replace human thinking.

AI adoption is moving faster than judgment. Using AI well takes more than knowing what the tools can do.

Understand

Know what AI can and cannot do.

Evaluate

Question, verify and think critically.

Stay human-led

Keep judgment, responsibility and expertise with people.
