But what happens when you have a partner that **always supports you**, regardless of whether you are right or wrong? To me, the risk of **perpetuating biases** across society is one of the biggest challenges we'll face in this new AI era. When you partner with someone (AI or human), you look for different perspectives. Challenging your own assumptions is the first step toward true learning and critical thinking. Setting guardrails is a good starting point. Through your prompts you can explicitly define how you want to interact with AI assistants. Here are some prompts I've been using lately: - Prioritize trustworthy information - Probe for further questions and actions - Prioritize accuracy over unverified facts; when in doubt, I want to know the risks of inaccuracy - Give me direct feedback - Question my assumptions and call out biases I might not be aware of - Share counterpoints and different perspectives ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/10/f4/10f4a52f-1b7d-4284-b66d-0fccfd9dc5da/content/images/2025/06/image-1.png) Don't seek validation.
