| 2.1 Use critical thinking before, during and after AI use, both in learning and to meet ethical and legal obligations |
Correctly identify when AI assistance is appropriate and beneficial for a task. Choose tools with consideration of their legal and ethical risks, capabilities, limitations, and biases (e.g. cultural, geographic, gendered, racial). Use diverse AI and non-AI approaches to inform decision-making. Re-evaluate the appropriateness of AI use as tasks evolve. |
| 2.2 Use the best AI tool for the task |
Recognise that there are different types of AI tools, including generative AI, agents, research assistants, and data analysis tools. Know where to locate AI tools. Select and configure tools to complete the task ethically and legally. Evaluate tools based on privacy and confidentiality requirements, including whether tools are cloud-based or offline. Identify the costs involved with some AI tools. Find free AI tools offered by The University of Queensland. Select AI tools with appropriate levels of transparency and explainability for the task at hand. |
| 2.3 Create different types of prompts. Adjust and iteratively improve prompts to get the best results |
Produce high-quality prompts (with appropriate reference to the persona, task, context, format and tone as required). Execute different types of prompts (i.e. simple prompts, few-shot prompts, chain-of-thought prompts). Refine prompts to achieve a better outcome. Produce prompts that meet your ethical and legal obligations and consider privacy, confidentiality, copyright and licensing. |
| 2.4 Stay up to date with AI tools, advancements and capabilities |
