Trusting AI is not losing control. The TRUST method (Transparency, Relevance, User Control, Safety, Tracking) helps me evaluate tools before using them. Independent AI needs weekly oversight. I am still responsible.
I will evaluate one tool using TRUST this week. I will set a 15-minute weekly reminder to review interactions and log errors. I will complete my AI Growth Plan.
AI can work independently, and usually go a good job, but it must be systematically monitored and corrected when it makes mistakes.
I have learned how to take a much more systematic approach to integrating AI into my work. This contrasts with how I have been doing it, which was much more experimental and unstructured.
I learned the importance of evaluating AI tools carefully using criteria such as transparency, relevance, safety, and tracking. I plan to apply this by reviewing AI outputs regularly, monitoring student interactions, and making adjustments to ensure the content remains accurate and aligned with my curriculum.
