Design a generative AI Prompt:

Below are some of the examples of the prompts that you can develop for using generative AL tools:

1. Can you provide a list of topics to research business ethical dilemma?

2. Can you provide a list of examples or cases for research X Topic on business ethical dilemma?

3. What keywords can be used to research the topic X related to business ethical dilemma?

4. How to analyze the research topic X regarding business ethical dilemma?

Collect the key concepts and keywords to search in the library database.

Because of these potential sources of inaccuracy, we suggest that users of AI tools do the following:

1. Do NOT rely on AI for answers in fields you do not know well. You are less likely to be able to catch factual errors in new information.
2. Verify any factual statements in AI output. Be aware that the fact that an AI tool is using confident sounding language does not mean it is being accurate. AI can introduce inaccuracies with a great deal of confidence.  Always check any factual statement in any final document to ensure its accuracy. Do not take the AI’s word for it.
3. Do NOT use AI as a kind of information search tool (like Google) if the AI tool you are using does not include a list of underlying sources. It will summarize for you by default. Some tools will provide a list of “sources” if asked for one, but this source list may not be accurate. In some cases, the sources “cited” may not even exist! Find and evaluate underlying sources.
