🧭 What Is Ethics in AI?

Ethics means doing what is right, fair, and responsible.

When we talk about AI ethics, we mean:

• Using AI in ways that help people, not harm them
• Making sure AI is fair and does not discriminate
• Protecting people’s privacy and data
• Understanding the limits of AI

AI is a powerful tool, but power must be used wisely.

⚠️ Common Risks of Using AI

❌ Misinformation

AI can sometimes give incorrect or misleading answers. Not everything AI says is true.

❌ Bias & Unfairness

AI learns from data created by humans. If the data is biased, the AI can be unfair.

❌ Privacy Risks

Sharing personal information with AI tools can be unsafe.

❌ Over‑dependence

Relying too much on AI can reduce critical thinking and creativity.

✅ How to Use AI Responsibly

Always remember these rules:

• 🔹 Think before you trust AI output
• 🔹 Verify important information from trusted sources
• 🔹 Do not share personal or sensitive data
• 🔹 Use AI to assist, not replace, your thinking
• 🔹 Respect others when using AI tools

Responsible users make technology better for everyone.
