Why this lesson matters
The AI Use Case Canvas brings the course together. Start with a real problem—not an AI tool. Define the people involved, current process, desired outcome, evidence of success, data needed, risks, human oversight and a small test. AI may be unsuitable, and that can be a valid conclusion.
Learning objectives
- Design and evaluate a responsible AI use case for study, business or community impact.
- Connect the concept to a real-world example.
- Identify one limitation or responsible-use consideration.
data, instruction or signal
rules, model or process
Key ideas
- Problem first, technology second.
- A pilot should be small, measurable and reversible.
- Responsible design includes monitoring and a way to stop.
Real-world lens
When evaluating this technology, ask what problem it solves, what information it depends on, how success is measured and what happens when it is wrong. This habit is more durable than memorising product names.
Hands-on activity
Complete an AI Use Case Canvas and present a three-minute explanation of your decision and safeguards.
