AI Reflection and Self-Monitoring

Updated on

It's important to use critical thinking to determine when and how Generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) tools should be used. To help you continue thinking critically, reflect each time you use AI and take time regularly to conduct a self-audit on your overall AI use. Use the questions below to guide your reflections.   

Reflection Questions to Ask Yourself After Using AI 

  • What will I do with the AI output?

  • What was the outcome of my output evaluation?

  • How much revision was needed? Did I need to correct hallucinations?

  • Was the AI helpful? Did it save me time, resources, or provide me with more equitable access to a task?

  • Would I use AI like this again?

  • How would I do things differently next time to improve results or usefulness?

  • Was this tool an effective choice? Would I use a different tool next time?

  • Are my own ideas, work, and voice still reflected in the results? 

AI Self-Audit Questions for Regular Reflection on AI Use 

  • How much do I rely on AI?

  • Do I attempt the task myself first?

  • Do I use AI ethically and cite it when I have?

  • Am I developing and using my own voice consistently in my work?
