Questions to ask before you trust an AI answer

Person thinking while writing notes

AI can be helpful and still be wrong. A few quick questions help you decide when an answer is good enough and when to check with a person.

Five quick questions

  • Does the answer fit what I already know?
  • Does it say where the information comes from?
  • Is it mostly AI-generated, or did a person help shape it?
  • What happens if it is wrong?
  • Would a qualified person agree with it?

The higher the stakes, the more these questions matter. A wrong recipe idea is easy to fix. A wrong answer about medicine, money or the law can cost much more.

AI should help you think, not think for you.

When to ask a person

Ask a qualified person whenever a decision affects your health, your money, your legal rights or someone's safety. AI can still help you prepare good questions for that conversation.

Signum Chat marks every answer with who shaped it, so the third question is always easy to answer.
