Chapter 4: How to Use AI

This chapter introduces students to a wide array of accessible AI tools and demonstrates how to apply them across text generation, image creation, audio/video editing, coding assistance, and productivity enhancement. Real-world examples such as Microsoft Copilot and DeepSeek show how AI integrates into professional and creative workflows.

In addition to practical applications, the chapter emphasizes ethical and responsible AI usage. Students learn how to avoid common pitfalls such as data misuse, prompt manipulation, and uncritical content reliance. To reinforce these lessons, the chapter includes a hands-on lab that guides students through the use of safe, easy-to-use tools like ChatGPT, Craiyon, Notion AI, and Descript while reflecting on key questions about responsible use and transparency.

By the end of the chapter, learners will understand:

• Which tools are available for specific tasks (writing, designing, coding, organizing)
• How to apply them effectively in personal, academic, and professional settings
• Ethical and practical best practices to guide safe and respectful AI use
