What applies everywhere.
THE ACCOUNTABILITY RULE
The qualified professional remains responsible. No tool shares that.
THE CITATION RULE
Do not cite, quote or rely on anything you have not retrieved and read.
THE CALCULATION RULE
Never accept a calculation, dose, measurement or figure from a language model.
THE CONFIDENTIALITY RULE
Establish what is permitted before sending client, patient or case material anywhere.
THE JURISDICTION RULE
Models answer from the material they were trained on, which is predominantly from elsewhere.
For Nigerian law, regulation and standards, be particularly cautious.
THE INDEPENDENCE RULE
Reason first, then consult. Automation bias is documented and real.
THE DOCUMENTATION RULE
Record your own reasoning, not the output you received.
WHERE THE BENEFIT ACTUALLY IS
Administration, documentation, drafting and communication.
That is where professional time is consumed and where AI genuinely returns it.
WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
Practise your profession.
THE TEST
Could you defend this as your own work, having checked it?
