When not to use AI

Situations where human expertise or caution is essential.

Avoid relying on AI alone for: medical or legal advice, safety-critical decisions, highly confidential matters without approval, final hiring decisions, and anything requiring certified professional judgment.

AI is a support tool, not a replacement for expertise, accountability, or empathy in sensitive situations.

When to escalate to a human expert

•Diagnosing symptoms instead of seeing a doctor
•Final legal contract review without a lawyer
•Automated rejection of job candidates without human review

Do not rely on AI alone for

✕ Medical diagnosis or treatment decisions

Instead: Consult a qualified healthcare professional.

✕ Final legal contract review

Instead: Use a lawyer for binding agreements.

✕ Automated rejection of job candidates

Instead: Keep human accountability in hiring.
