Step 1 of 4 · Meet the situation
How read-aloud works
Uses only a voice your browser reports as on-device. Reads public step text; no voice recording or remote fallback. Text is always available to read with a partner or screen reader.
1. Meet the situation
One person suggests a task. The other names the consequences and who must remain responsible.
The situation or source
Fictional options: A) draft a book-swap invitation from confirmed public details, with a person checking before publishing; B) automatically decide who gets financial assistance, using personal records and no human review.
Take turns: read the original, then let your partner point out one important detail. Neither person needs to be the expert.
Notice the important details. Read with someone or use the printable card.
2. Make a choice
The situation or source
Fictional options: A) draft a book-swap invitation from confirmed public details, with a person checking before publishing; B) automatically decide who gets financial assistance, using personal records and no human review.
The response or draft to check
Both are writing tasks, so give both to an AI tool and accept the result.
There is no penalty for trying again. You can also skip the choice and read the explanation.
3. See why
Read the explanation. You do not have to answer first.
What to notice
The tasks have different consequences. A person can compare an invitation with confirmed details and decide what to publish. An assistance decision affects people, uses private information and needs a legitimate responsible process, applicable safeguards and appropriate expertise. This exercise does not establish what law applies to any real organisation or certify a workflow.
A draft you can check is different from a consequential decision. Keep responsibility and use the appropriate human process.
Swap roles: explain one check in your own words. Your partner compares it with the original. Ask “What still needs checking?”
4. Take it into everyday life
A draft you can check is different from a consequential decision. Keep responsibility and use the appropriate human process.
Who should stay responsible, and what would make you stop? Think about it or discuss it; there is no box to submit a private answer.
Swap one useful skill
Each person shares one checking habit. For example: trace a fact to a notice, or verify an urgent request by calling a number you already know. Do not share private phone numbers, passwords or family safe-words.
One person does not have to be the technology expert. Listening and asking are skills too.
Try it in a new situation.
Optional practice, not a test. Explain your next step before looking at the choices.
New fictional options: draft a checked FAQ from a public policy, or let a tool automatically reject job applicants with no human review. What distinction matters?
Read the reasoning without answering
Text can be part of a high-consequence decision. This exercise supports recognising that difference, not deciding employment law or certifying any hiring system. Use the organisation's appropriate process and expertise.
Choices are not submitted or retained. This exercise alone cannot demonstrate mastery or lasting benefit.
Optional practice marker
Boundary Setter
Only mark this if you feel you practised the check. No quiz score, certification, leaderboard or sharing requirement.
Not marked. Your summary can still include the habit to revisit.
This mission only. The marker resets when you reload or leave. Nothing is submitted.
Stopping here or choosing not to use AI is a valid result. If it helps, explain the useful part to someone who wants to hear it.
