AI can widen inquiry. It cannot inherit responsibility.

Language models can suggest frames, summarize text, produce plausible explanations, and reveal questions you had not considered. They can also invent support, flatten disagreement, reproduce dominant assumptions, and sound certain where the evidence is weak.

The practiceUse AI to generate possibilities and challenges. Use evidence, affected perspectives, and accountable human judgment to decide what deserves belief or action.

You will create four connected artifacts

1 · Inquiry logWhat you asked, why, and how the interaction changed

2 · Claim auditWhat the evidence supports, complicates, or contradicts

3 · Public explainerA useful, bounded explanation for a real audience

4 · Reflective defenseWhat remained your judgment and what risks matter

Private working space. Drafts and mistakes stay formative. Only the final submission enters human review, and verification does not make it public.
