Understanding what AI is and how different tools work can help you make informed choices about when to use them. It also helps you recognise their limitations, including the possibility of inaccurate or biased responses.<\/p><p>This section introduces AI tools and explores how students use them in practice. You\u2019ll also consider responsible use, including how to protect your information and follow guidance for your academic work, alongside the environmental impact of AI.
