Protect people and information
Consider who could be affected. Identify sensitive material and set appropriate information boundaries.
RESPONSIBLE & ETHICAL AI
Intermediate Programs
Build trust.
Own the decision.
Protect people. Examine evidence. Make responsibility visible.
The choices your people make with AI affect everyone who relies on their work. Build the judgment to protect people, evaluate evidence and act responsibly.
HUMAN SKILLS. PURPOSEFUL PRACTICE.
Responsibility lives in the decisions.
What information should you share? Which output deserves your trust? Whose perspective is missing? Practice making these choices in the context of your work, with a clear basis for proceeding, changing course or escalating a concern.
Who it is for
For practitioners and team leaders who need deeper judgment around privacy, evidence, fairness, policy and accountability. Responsible practice belongs in every program; this dedicated program gives it focused depth.
Professional judgment · Perspective taking · Critical thinking · Accountability
Question the evidence
Check significant claims, examine possible bias and recognize unsupported confidence.
Make responsibility visible
Identify who decides, what needs review and how AI involvement should be explained.
Act within your context
Apply organizational policies, recognize the limits of your authority and know when to pause or escalate.
JUDGMENT PEOPLE CAN RELY ON
Make care and accountability
part of everyday work.
For your decisions
Recognize privacy, evidence, fairness and authorship concerns before acting on an output.
For your team
Make responsibilities, review points and escalation visible so people know what to do when uncertainty appears.
For your organization
Connect policies to practical choices. Build the human capability to protect trust as AI use grows.
BRING THE LEARNING INTO REAL WORK
A polished brief.
A decision still to make.
An AI-assisted summary of customer interviews includes an identifiable detail, an unsupported claim and a recommendation based on only one group’s experience. Before it is shared, what needs to change?
Notice
Identify the privacy, evidence and representation concerns.
Investigate
Return to the source. Separate what is known from what is inferred.
Decide
Revise the brief, seek further input or pause distribution.
Own
Record the reviewer, the reasoning and the conditions for sharing.

A confident answer has weak evidence
An AI-assisted brief makes a claim that could influence a team decision. The wording is confident, but its source and limits are unclear.
- Identify what mattersSeparate the important claims from supporting detail. Consider which decision could change if a claim is wrong.
- Check the basisReturn to the original sources. Distinguish verified information, interpretation and uncertainty, and identify missing evidence.
- Choose the next actionRevise the claim, gather more evidence or pause sharing. Record who owns that decision and how the limits will be communicated.
WHAT YOU COULD CARRY FORWARD
An evidence and decision note
The claim, its source, what remains uncertain, the action you chose and the person responsible for the next decision.
Responsible & Ethical AI deepens professional judgment around truthfulness, verification and accountable AI-assisted work.

A useful summary includes sensitive information
You want help organizing customer or team feedback. Some details could identify people, and the summary may travel beyond its original audience.
- Define the purpose and audienceClarify why the summary is needed, who should receive it and which information is necessary for that purpose.
- Examine the boundariesIdentify sensitive details and check the relevant organizational policies. Determine what needs to be removed, changed or referred to an authorized reviewer.
- Make the review explicitSet the human review point before sharing. Record the information boundary, the reviewer and any question that remains unresolved.
WHAT YOU COULD CARRY FORWARD
A practical information boundary
A draft note describing the permitted purpose, intended audience, information to protect and required review before the work proceeds.
The program connects privacy and data protection to everyday choices about tools, policies and human accountability.

A recommendation leaves people out
A recommendation is based on feedback from one group, but its effects could reach others. An AI summary makes the findings sound more universal than the evidence supports.
- Notice who is representedIdentify whose experience appears in the material and whose is missing. Consider who could be affected by the recommendation.
- Challenge the interpretationSeparate what the evidence shows from what has been assumed. Seek relevant perspectives and examine how they might change the conclusion.
- Explain the responsible choiceRevise the recommendation, seek further input or limit its scope. State the reasoning, remaining uncertainty and accountable decision owner.

A fuller Responsible AI Action Brief
A statement of the purpose, people affected, evidence limits, perspectives needed and the human decision that comes next.
Responsible & Ethical AI develops perspective taking, fairness and judgment alongside practical accountability.
Explore bias, judgment and accountabilityAPPLY THE HUMAN AGENCY SCALE
Choose the role.
Keep the responsibility.
Use the Human Agency Scale to match involvement to the consequences. AI might organize approved material while people lead interpretation, review and consequential decisions.
An H-level describes a task or step, not a person’s ability. People retain accountability at every level. Choose the level that fits the work; no single level is the destination.
Explore the five agency stages
- H5Full Human Agency
- People perform the work and exercise judgment.
- H4Augmented Human Agency
- People lead; AI supports analysis, options or drafting.
- H3Shared Agency
- People and AI develop the work through iteration.
- H2Delegated AI Agency
- AI executes within objectives, limits and specified human review points.
- H1Autonomous AI Agency
- AI executes a bounded task without ongoing human input.
