Applying the framework
Whatever the policies, principles or guidelines about AI in your courses, programs, place of employment or community partners, you can apply this AI literacy framework.
AI not allowed
Creation diligence gives you the answer at step one. Respect the rule, and ask why it exists.
AI allowed, with conditions
The whole flow, with disclosure built in from the start.
AI encouraged
You may be the one asking about privacy, accuracy and disclosure. The 4Ds give you the words.
The rules differ from one place to the next, and they’ll keep changing. The framework doesn’t.
The 4Ds in four questions
- Diligence — Is using AI here responsible? Will I own and disclose the result?
- Delegation — Who should do this: me, AI or another person?
- Direction — Have I said what I want, how to get there, and how the AI should behave?
- Discernment — Is it true? Is it fair? Is it actually good, or just agreeable?
Keep these handy. Ask them on your next task.
