Question 1 of 6

How does AI show up in your day-to-day work right now?

Rarely, if ever. I've tried it, but it hasn't become part of my work. Occasionally, for simple one-off tasks. A few times a week for specific, repeatable tasks. Daily. AI is woven into several parts of how I work.

Before using AI on a research task, how do you decide whether AI belongs in the task at all?

I usually assume AI can help and start typing. I haven't thought much about when it should not be used. I think about obvious risks, but I mostly try AI first and decide afterward. I weigh the task, the data, the stakes, and where human judgment needs to stay in control. I can define good use cases and no-go use cases, then design appropriate human checkpoints.

How do you decide whether an AI answer is safe and good enough to use?

If it sounds plausible, I usually trust it. I skim it and check the obvious points, but I don't have a consistent process. I verify important claims, calculations, and source material before relying on it. I know common failure modes, build QA into the workflow, and know when not to delegate the task.

How do you handle confidential, client, or otherwise sensitive research data when using AI?

I paste what I need and assume the tool will handle it safely. I avoid obvious identifiers, but I'm not sure what else I should check. I minimize or anonymize data and check the tool, plan, and workspace settings. I understand the relevant data policies, use approved workflows, and keep data out when AI is not appropriate.

How do you usually get useful output from an AI tool?

I ask one question and usually accept the first answer or give up. I retry or rephrase, but mostly by trial and error. I give context and constraints, then iterate based on what the tool returns. I use reusable prompting frameworks and adapt them to the task, audience, and risk.

What is the most complex AI-supported workflow you have actually used?

A one-off question, brainstorm, or simple search-like task. Drafting, editing, summarizing, or organizing one piece of work. A multi-step task such as analyzing data, planning a project, or shaping a research deliverable. A connected workflow, tool, agent, or automation with explicit review and guardrails.
