Session 1 learning objectives

Level 1: Responsible AI foundations | 90 minutes

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  1. Distinguish generative AI from prediction and automation tools, and state what each can and cannot do in humanitarian work.
  2. Explain who remains accountable when AI supports a humanitarian decision.
  3. Compare an AI-assisted draft to an authorized source and mark claims as supported, contradicted, or not established.
  4. Apply a seven-step risk screen to a fictional case and record a green, amber, or red decision with a named owner.
  5. Identify at least one protection or localization issue in a synthetic communications scenario.
  6. Choose one safe action to apply before the next session.
