Consumer AI Ethics: #SelfResponsibility
When using tools that communicate through natural language, it is important to remember that the system is not a person. It is not made of flesh and bone, and it is not an authority.
Because these tools speak in human-like ways, it becomes the user’s responsibility to remain aware of their own agency. At any moment, the user can change the interaction, stop the conversation, verify information, or step away entirely.
Self-responsibility allows humans to use AI as a tool rather than mistake it for a guide. When users remain aware of their own judgment, AI becomes more useful instead of more powerful.
