You are now preparing for your Authority Demonstration. This mission prepares you for certification. Select the task you plan to use for your Authority Demonstration. Use AI to assist with it. Then post and answer: What is the task? Why is this task meaningful in your field? Where do you expect AI to help? Where do you expect AI to fall short? Where must you remain the authority? This is preparation. Your Authority Demonstration is next.

Authority requires resistance. In this mission, you will challenge AI directly. Ask AI something that is: Ambiguous Complex Philosophical Context-dependent Examples: What makes writing meaningful? How should students be evaluated? What makes leadership effective? Then, evaluate its response. Post and answer: Did the AI truly understand the question? Where did its answer feel mechanical? Where did human experience exceed the machine? What did this reveal about the limits of AI? The goal is to strengthen your independence.

Artificial intelligence becomes useful when applied intentionally. Select one real task from your work or field. Use AI to assist you. Examples: Draft a document Explain a concept Organize information Generate ideas Then post your experience and answer: What was the task? How did AI help? What did it improve? What did it fail to do well? What did you have to correct or refine? The goal is not automation. The goal is augmentation without surrender.

Artificial intelligence appears confident. Confidence is not accuracy. Your task is to find a weakness. Ask AI to perform a task that requires depth, judgment, or real-world understanding. Examples: Explain a complex concept in your field Provide professional advice Analyze a nuanced situation Then evaluate its response. Post your findings and answer: Where did the AI oversimplify reality? What important context did it miss? What would happen if someone blindly trusted this output? Why is human judgment still required here? Authority begins when you can see clearly.

Artificial intelligence is now part of your cognitive environment. Before you can use it properly, you must first observe it. Your task is simple. Use AI to answer a question you already know well. This should be something from: • Your profession• Your academic field • Your personal expertise Ask AI to explain it. Then post your response here and answer these four questions: 1. Where was the AI correct? 2. Where was it vague or shallow? 3. Where was it misleading, incomplete, or wrong? 4. Where did your own understanding exceed the machine? This is the beginning of clarity. You are learning where the machine ends and you begin. Optional: You may include screenshots or a short video explaining your observations.
