AI Security & Privacy: Essentials — What Not to Paste into an AI Tool

Learners will be able to decide, in seconds, whether something is safe to paste into an AI tool. The course covers the short list of things that never go in - customer data, passwords, unreleased numbers, private records - and easy ways to strip them out first. They leave with a ten-second check they run before every paste.

What this course covers

The course runs across 3 topics, each one a short adaptive session rather than a recorded lecture. The tutor explains the idea, works an example, checks understanding, and adjusts the next step to the answer given.

The Never-Paste List — Learn the four things you must never paste into AI tools. These are customer data, passwords, private records, and unreleased numbers. See how to use company-approved tools for sensitive work.
Clean Before You Paste — Practice replacing real names and figures with safe placeholders. Learn how to paste a general pattern instead of a private record. Work directly in the tool to clean your data.
What to Do If You Make a Mistake — Learn the exact steps to take the moment you paste the wrong thing into an AI tool. Practice reporting the leak fast to keep our data safe.

Skills you build

Results are measured against named skills in the OneRange taxonomy of more than 10,000 skills, so a manager sees proficiency per skill rather than a completion tick.

Who it is for

All employees. The material is pitched at Beginner level, and takes roughly 30 minutes at a typical pace. Because every session adapts, someone who already knows a topic moves through it quickly instead of sitting through an explanation they do not need.

How it is delivered and assessed

Delivery is conversational and interactive, including branching scenario, guided lab exercises. There is no video to sit through and no slide deck to click past.

Understanding is checked with a quiz assessment of 5 items, with a pass mark of 70%.

Administrators can copy this course into their own library and adapt it — edit the outline, change the duration, swap the assessment format, or ground it in internal documentation so answers cite the company's own source material.
