ChatGPT can assist with consequential work, but it cannot assume responsibility for the result. Check important facts, calculations, citations, assumptions, privacy risks, and recommendations before using an output. Document verification when the stakes are high.
Do not upload confidential, regulated, or personally identifiable information unless the organization has approved the tool and the handling process. For an IT example, before using ChatGPT to prioritize security incidents, verify the severity calculations, protect names and device identifiers, check the supporting evidence, and require a qualified analyst to approve any action that would isolate a device, disable an account, or reset credentials.
Human review is not a ceremonial final click. A person remains responsible for decisions affecting customers, employees, money, access, compliance, or business operations. Good governance means deciding in advance what the AI may recommend, what it may draft, what it may never do on its own, and who is accountable for checking the result.
