Knowing when NOT to use AI in AI for Everyone - Mini Project: Build & Apply

Knowing When NOT to Use AI

📖 Scenario: You are part of a team deciding when to use AI tools for tasks in your workplace. Not every task is suitable for AI. Understanding when NOT to use AI helps avoid mistakes and ensures better results.

🎯 Goal: Build a simple checklist that identifies tasks where AI should NOT be used. This checklist will help you and your team decide quickly and clearly.

📋 What You'll Learn

Create a dictionary called tasks with these exact entries: 'Medical diagnosis': 'High risk', 'Creative writing': 'Subjective', 'Sensitive personal advice': 'Privacy concern', 'Simple math calculations': 'Low complexity', 'Data entry': 'Repetitive'

Create a variable called avoid_reasons that lists the reasons to avoid AI use: 'High risk', 'Privacy concern', 'Subjective'

Use a dictionary comprehension called tasks_to_avoid that includes only tasks from tasks whose reason is in avoid_reasons

Add a final line that sets a variable final_checklist equal to tasks_to_avoid to complete the checklist

💡 Why This Matters

🌍 Real World

This project helps teams decide when AI is not suitable, avoiding risks like privacy issues or incorrect decisions.

💼 Career

Understanding when NOT to use AI is important for roles in management, ethics, healthcare, and any job involving AI decision-making.

1

Create the tasks dictionary

Create a dictionary called tasks with these exact entries: 'Medical diagnosis': 'High risk', 'Creative writing': 'Subjective', 'Sensitive personal advice': 'Privacy concern', 'Simple math calculations': 'Low complexity', 'Data entry': 'Repetitive'

AI for Everyone

# Create the tasks dictionary with exact entries
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use curly braces {} to create the dictionary with the exact keys and values.

2

Create the avoid reasons list

Create a variable called avoid_reasons that is a list containing these exact strings: 'High risk', 'Privacy concern', 'Subjective'

AI for Everyone

tasks = {
    'Medical diagnosis': 'High risk',
    'Creative writing': 'Subjective',
    'Sensitive personal advice': 'Privacy concern',
    'Simple math calculations': 'Low complexity',
    'Data entry': 'Repetitive'
}

# Create the avoid_reasons list with exact strings
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use square brackets [] to create a list with the exact strings in the given order.

3

Filter tasks to avoid using AI

Use a dictionary comprehension called tasks_to_avoid that includes only the tasks from tasks whose reason is in the list avoid_reasons

AI for Everyone

tasks = {
    'Medical diagnosis': 'High risk',
    'Creative writing': 'Subjective',
    'Sensitive personal advice': 'Privacy concern',
    'Simple math calculations': 'Low complexity',
    'Data entry': 'Repetitive'
}

avoid_reasons = ['High risk', 'Privacy concern', 'Subjective']

# Create tasks_to_avoid dictionary comprehension
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use a dictionary comprehension with for task, reason in tasks.items() and an if condition checking reason in avoid_reasons.

4

Complete the checklist

Add a final line that sets a variable called final_checklist equal to the dictionary tasks_to_avoid to complete the checklist

AI for Everyone

tasks = {
    'Medical diagnosis': 'High risk',
    'Creative writing': 'Subjective',
    'Sensitive personal advice': 'Privacy concern',
    'Simple math calculations': 'Low complexity',
    'Data entry': 'Repetitive'
}

avoid_reasons = ['High risk', 'Privacy concern', 'Subjective']

tasks_to_avoid = {task: reason for task, reason in tasks.items() if reason in avoid_reasons}

# Set final_checklist equal to tasks_to_avoid
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Simply assign final_checklist = tasks_to_avoid to complete the checklist.
