Guard your mind when AI tools ask for your most personal data. In this hands-on course, you'll develop three ethical AI habits that protect you in every interaction. First, you'll learn to apply the four guiding principles—privacy, transparency, fairness, and accountability—as practical filters that separate trustworthy AI from risky tools.. Second, you'll master consent protocols that ensure you understand what data you're sharing, why it's needed, and how it's protected—no more reflexive "I agree" clicks. Third, you'll develop systematic evaluation skills using a red-flag checklist that catches bias, harmful advice, and unsupported claims before you act on them. Through realistic Role Plays where you convince skeptics and advise managers, and Coach Dialogues where you navigate real consent decisions, you'll build the habits that let you benefit from AI while protecting what matters most. Perfect for anyone using AI wellness apps, goal trackers, or productivity tools. No technical background required.
