Things to and not to share with AI Tools

10/5/25, 6:00 AM

AI tools are great for tasks that are not private or sensitive information. They are okay to give to AI tools:

  1. General Knowledge or questions: Asking  AI for ideas for a blog post, fun social media post, a fun social media  post, or even any general knowledge questions out of curiosity. It can  give a list of creative concepts or explain information to provide the  answer.

  2. Writing or editing tasks: AI  can help to write the first draft of an article, a public speech, or an  email etc. It can also be used to check grammar mistakes, fix  sentences, or adjust the tone of the writing.

  3. Summarizing public information: If  a long and publicly available article or document is shared with AI  tools, it can summarize the main points for users. This is a great way  to save time and get the key points quickly.

  4. Learning and research: AI  can explain complex topics in a simple way that helps users to  understand any topic easily. People can also learn from AI easily and  use it to accomplish difficult tasks in a short amount of time.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming a part of our daily lives,  helping us with everything like writing emails, creating contents,  making resumes, and even planning events. AI helps us to save our time  and make our work easier. But with great power comes great  responsibility.  It’s important to know what is safe to share and what  is risky to share with AI tools. Because whatever we type into an AI  tool can be stored or used later.

What we can safely share with AI:

The simple rule of using AI is:

What we should never share with AI:

This is the most important part. When an AI tool is used, input of  the user might be stored and used to train the AI model. This means any  private information could become part of the system. Once information  is shared with AI tools, it cannot be controlled where they go or who  may see them in the future. A user should never share these types of  information:

  1. Personal and private data: This  includes information such as full name, home address, phone number, ID  card, passwords, bank account details, or even birth date. Sharing this  information can put users at risk of identity theft or scams.

  2. Confidential business information: Company  details such as business plans, financial reports, customer data, or  internal meeting notes should not be shared with AI tools. It could lead  to data breach and harm the business.

  3. Password and login details: Passwords, or other login information should also never be shared with AI. It’s like giving the house key to a stranger.

  4. Legal or medical advice: AI  can provide general information, but it is not a lawyer or a doctor.  Sharing personal legal or medical issues with AI is risky because the  advice could be wrong or harmful. For these matters, it is always best  to take help from a professional.

  5. Sensitive personal feelings or secrets: Although  it may feel safe to talk to an AI about personal life or feelings,  anything we share can be stored and used later. So, AI is not a  replacement for a trusted friend or a therapist.

If you don’t feel comfortable sharing it on a public platform, don’t share it with an AI tool.


AI tools are powerful and can be amazing helpers in our work and  learning. They must be used with care and responsibility. By being smart  about what we share, we can use it safely and get all the benefits  without the risks.
