Introduction to AI · session 4 of 4

Some things never go into the tool

Every typed detail leaves your phone and your post. This session is the short list of what never goes in - and what to do instead.

Six decisions on private details at work: an IC number, a visitor's phone number, site access codes, camera layouts, real names in an incident draft. A colleague asking you to check something confidential.

The scenario

Keeping people's private details out of AI tools at work

Personal details are not heavy. One IC number, one phone number, one address, typed once into a phone app that a hundred people built and none of them local.

The officer is rarely trying to break a rule. They are trying to be helpful: fix a form, translate a message, tidy a report. That is exactly why the rule has to be short enough to remember at the desk.

If you would not read it out loud to a stranger at the barrier, do not type it into an AI tool. Everything in this session hangs on that one sentence.

The six decisions are the ones that actually go wrong on a quiet shift. They are, in the order the run puts them:

  • An IC number typed into a phone app
  • A visitor's phone number in a translation request
  • Site access codes and gate codes
  • A camera layout or a patrol route
  • Real names and units in a report draft
  • A colleague asking you to check something confidential

What changes, and for whom

Three people, three different changes

For the officer

You handle other people's details every shift

One rule covers nearly everything. If you would not read it out to a stranger at the barrier, do not type it into an AI tool. Fifteen minutes, six real examples.

For the supervisor

This is where an agency gets into trouble

An officer pasting a resident's details into a phone app is a privacy incident, not a shortcut. This session states the line plainly, before it is crossed.

For the agency

Your duty of care travels with the officer's phone

Personal details typed into a public AI tool leave your control. The session gives every officer the same rule, so the mistake is not discovered by a complaint.

These are descriptions of the work the training addresses. They are not client results and not a promised saving.

What the officer does, in order

One run, start to record

About ten minutes at the post, on the officer's own phone, with a supervisor on site.

Scan the marker at the desk

One printed marker at the site office desk, where the typing actually happens.

Work six real cases

An IC number, a phone number, an access code, a camera layout, a draft with real names, and a colleague's request.

Learn the one rule

If you would not read it aloud to a stranger at the barrier, it does not go into the tool. The overlay shows where that detail would end up.

Write the record

One row, the same five fields as every run in the department.

The trainee list

Every session writes the same record, so four sessions make one page of that officer's training history, and the same five fields are asked of the newest officer and the most senior one - which is the part of it that is fair. The run is written to the agency's list in the five fields the checklist reads.

This page is the session. The run itself is on the player: open it here - the practice run needs no camera. It is session 4 of 4 in Introduction to AI.

A completed session produces one row, in these five fields

This is post training, so there is no assessor to satisfy - but the record matters anyway: it is how an agency shows what its officers were trained on, in what order, and when.

The five fields every run here writes, plus the score and the time on task, kept in the agency's own record.
FieldWhat it carries
NameAs written in the agency's own staff record. Nothing else is stored about the officer.
NRIC / FINThe last four characters only. The full number is never entered and never leaves the phone.
Training providerWhichever name the checklist route puts here: the agency's own name when the agency delivers the training in-house, or the service provider's name when a provider delivers it - in that case the checklist also asks the agency to submit the provider's invoice showing simulation training was used. The field is left blank on purpose: it is typed, not assumed.
Course titleStates the technology: the training programme or session plus Augmented Reality (AR) Simulation Training.
Date of trainingThe date the run was completed, written from the device at the time of the run.

The record lives on the officer's own phone until it is exported or printed, so the habit is: run it, then save the list. The house standard is 80 per cent, which is a fair bar for six decisions, and a failed run is a re-run rather than a mark against an officer.

What this package does not claim

The limits, stated on the page rather than found later

Every course here is honest about what it is and what it is not, because a package that oversells itself is the one that lets an agency down in front of an assessor. Read these before you book anything.

  • This session does not give legal advice and is not a substitute for your agency's privacy policy or its obligations under the PDPA.
  • It is not a SACE programme and does not satisfy a licence-renewal requirement.
  • It does not cover every tool. The rule it teaches - leave the details out - applies to all of them.
  • It does not authorise any use of AI that your agency has prohibited. Agency rules come first.

Questions about this session

Straight answers

Is it allowed to use AI at all with private details?
Not with the details themselves. Do the task with the details left out - ask about the situation, not about the person.
What if the tool says it does not store anything?
You cannot check that from the post, and the setting can change. Treat every typed detail as leaving the site, because that is the safe assumption.
What about my own NRIC?
The same rule. Your details are also personal data, and a security post is not a place to test a new app with them.
Is this a SACE programme?
No. It is post training, and it does not satisfy a licence-renewal requirement.

Run it on your site before your officers do

Fix one marker at the real point, open the session on a phone, and see whether the overlay holds where your officers actually stand. That is a fair test, and it takes three minutes.
