Choose an AI pilot your team can evaluate ========================================= Managers choosing practical AI literacy Original practice exercise by AI Course Rank. No purchase required. STARTING MATERIAL Invented team proposals: A. Turn public product release notes into an internal checklist. B. Automatically approve customer refunds using private account records. C. Draft an employee's final performance rating from private manager notes. Assume the team has no new data permissions and no approved production integrations. YOUR TASK 1. For each proposal, list the decision owner, available data, required permissions, observable result and consequence of a wrong answer. 2. Select one task that can be tried with current access. Write a manual baseline and three acceptance checks before selecting a tool. 3. Write a stop condition and who must review the output. Keep the exercise separate from a production deployment decision.
