AI tools can make it easier to explore ideas and draft explanatory material. Their outputs can also contain inaccurate details or references that do not support a claim. People using these tools should distinguish assistance with writing from evidence that a statement is true.
Check the claims that matter
Look for original documents, reliable institutions and direct quotations when a claim involves a person, a date or an important figure. A link alone is not proof: open the source and confirm that it actually says what the generated summary suggests.
Keep a human review in the process
For public-facing writing, editors should examine clarity, fairness and the possibility of misleading context. Protect sensitive information before entering it into external systems. Where AI has materially contributed to a workflow, transparency about its role can also help maintain trust.
Good digital literacy means using convenient tools without outsourcing responsibility for accuracy.
