Lesson 4 • Leadership

Responsible Use Boundaries

Not every use case is appropriate—even if it is technically possible. Boundaries protect people and protect trust.

Estimated time: 15 minutes Ethics-first Practical

Key concepts

Set 'never do' rules before choosing tools.
Avoid automated decisions about people’s eligibility, risk, or behavior.
Document boundaries and communicate them clearly.

Practice Exercise

Draft one sentence that begins with: “Our organization will not use AI to…”

Template (copy/paste)

ROLE: You are my AI assistant.
TASK: Help me write 10 strong 'we will not' statements for AI use.
CONTEXT: Nonprofit/community organization.
OUTPUT: 10 statements + 2 that are too vague (and fix them).
CONSTRAINTS: No surveillance, no scoring people, no hidden profiling.

Ethics & accuracy: verify important facts, avoid sharing sensitive personal data, and be transparent when AI helped draft content.
