Practice position
AI assists. People decide.
Use approved systems, minimise information, check important output and keep accountable professional judgement human-led.
Match the tool to the work
Claude may be useful for restructuring a long approved document, comparing supplied text, creating alternative explanations and building fictional training material. Its ability to handle length does not make an uploaded document appropriate for processing.
Keep the source visible
For document work, ask for section references, a list of unresolved points and a separation between the source and suggested additions. If the model makes a new claim, treat it as unverified until you locate an authoritative source.
Check current terms
Account types, retention, training use and organisational controls can differ and change. Use current official privacy information, contractual assurance and local approval rather than relying on a generic description of the product.
Practical checklist
- Check the account type
- Upload only approved documents
- Ask for traceable extraction
- Review omissions and certainty
- Verify additions independently
