AI Safety for Namibia: the 30-minute beginner guide
Before using AI for school, work or business, learn the four habits that protect you and make the answers better.
1. Do not paste private information
Do not paste ID numbers, passwords, banking details, medical records, learner records, private client information, contracts, exam papers or confidential business data into public AI tools.
Practice: Rewrite your question with private details removed. Use roles like “a customer”, “a learner” or “a small business” instead of real names.
2. Give AI a clear job
Good prompts include role, task, context and format.
Act as a patient study coach. Explain [topic] to a Grade 11 learner in Namibia. Use simple language, 3 examples, and a 5-question quiz.
Practice: Create one prompt for your real study, work or business task.
3. Check before you trust
AI can sound confident and still be wrong. Check dates, names, prices, laws, school rules, calculations, sources and anything that affects money, health, law or official decisions.
Practice: Ask AI: “Which parts of your answer might be wrong, outdated or need a human check?”
4. Use AI honestly
For school and job applications, AI should help you think and write more clearly. It should not invent marks, qualifications, experience, references or facts.
Practice: Ask AI to improve your own draft without adding claims you did not provide.
