HUMAN CHECKPOINT

Is the message accurate, appropriate, and clear about commitments?

Your judgment matters

The shift: Validating AI summaries and managing exceptions. Foundational skills still matter.

Where AI can go wrong3 things to check

A plausible but wrong answer

AI can promise a date that has not been agreed. It can fail the underlying goal even when it sounds convincing.

Your check

State the current forecast and uncertainty without creating an unauthorized commitment.

Missing or invented context

AI may fill gaps with unsupported assumptions, which can send the work in the wrong direction.

Your check

Trace claims to original evidence and ask the relevant person about unknowns.

Information shared in the wrong place

Sensitive records or code can cross confidentiality boundaries if supplied to an unsuitable tool.

Your check

Use approved tools, share the minimum context needed, and follow your organization’s rules.
