What You’ll Produce in This Module

• A one-page AI Safety Rules reference you can apply to every draft
• A repeatable accuracy-review workflow that catches errors before anyone sees them

AI can produce confident mistakes. When it’s wrong, it often looks polished. That’s why AI safety is not optional in professional legal work. In this lesson, you’ll adopt a clear standard: AI can help organize and draft, but humans are responsible for every word that gets sent, signed, or filed.

Key Concepts Covered

• Accountability: you are responsible for every word you use, send, or file.
• AI is not a shield: it does not reduce your duty of accuracy.
• Inputs drive outputs: unclear or incomplete inputs produce unsafe drafts.
• Safety review is a workflow: structured checks beat “quick skimming.”
• Professional transparency: you can disclose tool use without losing credibility.

High-Risk Red Flags

• Invented facts: details appear that were not in your notes or chronology.
• Altered chronology: sequence is rearranged or compressed incorrectly.
• Overstated certainty: language sounds “proven” without a basis.
• Wrong names/dates/places: credibility killers that are easy to miss when skimming.
• Sloppy source attribution: witness statements framed as direct personal knowledge.

Professional Standard (Non-Negotiable)

• Slow down at review: never speed-read critical drafts.
• Verify the basics every time: names, dates, locations, and key events.
• Match language to proof: the strength of words must match the evidence.
• Mirror outputs into the file: AI sessions are not your record.
• Correct calmly: if an error appears during review, fix it immediately without defensiveness.

Client-Safe Disclosure Language (Recommended)

“I use drafting tools to help organize information efficiently, and then I review and finalize everything. The final version is always human-reviewed for accuracy.”
