Self-assessment

You should be able to do each of these without help.

• Explain what information must not be pasted into an AI tool. Cover secrets, customer data and confidential code, and say where to look up your organisation's rules.Related: Confidentiality and AI, Secrets Management
• Reduce what you share before asking an AI tool for help. Cut the smallest snippet, replace names and values, and say what to do after a mistaken paste.Related: Confidentiality and AI
