Generative AI has now become a tool of the day-to-day. It is used by people to plan trips, explain hard ideas, write e-mail, to take notes and to explore new topics. There is a benefit to that convenience, but there's also a responsibility. A chatbot can give confident answers that are incomplete, out-of-date and wrong. AI can receive information that should remain private. Treat it as a useful assistant, never the final judge. Smart habits protect data, improve accuracy, prevent errors, and make each interaction safer and more valuable.
