Curious what the buzz is on artificial intelligence (AI)? Have you ever wondered how to ask AI a question without accidentally sharing too much? Or how to tell if an AI-generated answer is actually accurate? Well, we’ve got a resource for you!
Join Yale’s Information Security Office July 21 through August 1 for “Bee Smart with AI: It’s as Easy as A-B-C”. We’ll be exploring how to use AI tools securely, thoughtfully, and confidently. Whether it's a personal project or your work at Yale, the first step is adopting secure and cyber safe habits.
Our campaign theme breaks it all down into three simple practices:
A is for AI Awareness
What exactly is AI, how does it work, and how are we using it at Yale? Understanding what tools are available and how to use them safely is key to using them responsibly.
B is for Be Careful What You Share
Think before you prompt! Know the risk of your data before sharing it into just any AI tool. We'll show you how to use the right tools based on the risk of your data.
C is for Click with Caution
AI can be helpful to anyone, even cybercriminals. AI is being used to make phishing messages even harder to spot. We can show you how to combat these convincing messages like a pro.
Our summer campaign will be packed with resources and activities to help you put secure AI use into action:
- Quick Tips & AI Safety Checklist
Easy-to-follow advice and a downloadable checklist for everyday AI use — at work, in class, or on your own.
- Panel Discussion with Yale Experts
Get the inside scoop from Yale experts on how to use AI tools safely and effectively. Bring your curiosity and we’ll bring the answers!
- Live Trivia Competition

- Self-Paced Mini-Quiz
Explore essential tips for using AI securely in this short, interactive quiz. It’s a quick and engaging way to test your knowledge and build smart AI habits—on your own schedule.
AI is becoming an increasingly powerful tool in both our professional and personal lives. But like any powerful tool, how we use it matters. When using AI, take a moment to think about your question, check the answer, and avoid sharing anything private.
Boosting our awareness and adopting smart habits ensures we use AI in a way that keeps us and Yale safe. Join us this summer to learn how to protect yourself, support your colleagues, and keep Yale secure — one smart AI decision at a time.
