AI tools are useful, but they can leak more than people realize. Start with defaults that reduce exposure.
A simple starting checklist
- Avoid entering sensitive personal data into AI chat tools.
- Use dedicated workspaces for business use cases.
- Review sharing settings before you paste or upload.
- Keep a personal “red list” of things you never share.
The goal
Your goal isn’t to avoid AI, but it’s to avoid unnecessary exposure. A handful of defaults and a short checklist keep you on the safe side.
