Responsible AI · Bias check

A quick check before it leaves your desk.

Privacy

Use only notes and reference material approved for the tool. Leave out confidential plans, personal information, and material you do not have permission to share.

Bias

Check for stereotypes, unsupported generalizations, and assumptions about readers. Describe the actual audience’s needs, not a caricature of them.

Human review

Check facts, quotes, claims, and promises. Make the draft accurate, fair, and yours. AI can supply a first draft; it cannot supply your approval.
