About the course
The same AI feature can create very different consequences depending on what it says or does, who encounters it, and whether an error can truly be reversed. In this short course, use Example Retailer's customer-assistance case to identify material consequences, keep higher-consequence actions outside the initial scope, and define signals and people who can respond when a boundary is crossed. Work through a completed example, then use the blank checklist and response aid for your own initiative. You will leave with a reasoned boundary for the next decision—not a generic risk score.
Practical boundaries
Identify affected people, likely consequences, scale, reversibility, and uncertainty. State what the proposed AI use may and may not do.
A response that works
Connect meaningful signals, human review, pause or stop actions, the existing incident route, and remedy for people already affected. Switching a feature off may stop new exposure without undoing earlier harm.
A decision you can use
Use the blank Consequence and Boundary Checklist, a completed Example Retailer version, and the Notice, Contain, Escalate, Remedy aid to prepare an accountable next decision.
