Survival Guide to the AI Apocalypse: A Practical Guide to AI Risk Management

Build better habits for choosing and using AI at work and in your community. Here, “AI apocalypse” is a metaphor for workplace disruption and avoidable mistakes that damage people, services and trust.

Course focus

Five habits to practise together

For professionals, small organisations, educators and community leaders who want to make more informed AI decisions. Use these focus areas to discuss the needs of your team or learning group with CAIA.

  1. 1

    Check the tool

    Ask who supplies the model, what data it uses, and how it performs on the task and community you serve.

  2. 2

    Protect private information

    Choose approved tools, minimise the data you share, and practise with fictional examples.

  3. 3

    Verify the answer

    Check important claims against original sources, including Caribbean context, dates and language.

  4. 4

    Keep people in charge

    Limit access and require meaningful human approval before consequential actions.

  5. 5

    Plan for mistakes

    Record problems, assign a response owner, and know when to pause an AI-assisted workflow.
