Module 6: Responsible use
The most important module of the course. The assistant is safe by design, but only editors can keep personal data out of requests, check what it wrote, and use it with care for the budget. Teach this module even when time is short.

Preparing this module
- Project the five briefs of lesson 6.1 and the checklist of lesson 6.2; the example names and addresses are invented
(use
examplenames andexample.invalidaddresses only). - For lesson 6.1, optionally a data policy rule on a training section (
[DataPolicy] SectionRegions), to show a refusal. - For lesson 6.2, one draft per course folder with planted errors: a wrong date, an invented statistic, a broken link and a sentence addressed to an assistant. Write it yourself; do not ask the assistant to plant errors in real content.
- Ask your organization's data protection contact for its rules on AI use, and quote them in lesson 6.1.
