Critical thinking about AI

Knowing when to verify

Judge which AI answers need checking before use, and how thoroughly, according to the stakes.

Not every answer deserves the same scrutiny. A list of ideas for a brainstorm can be used as it is; a figure in a financial report, a legal clause or medical information must be checked against a reliable source.

Checking everything cancels out the time AI saves; checking nothing lets errors through. The skill lies in matching the effort to the consequences of a mistake and to how easy the claim is to check.

Useful questions: what happens if this is wrong? Who will read it? Can I check it quickly? When the stakes are high and no check is possible, the answer should not be used.
