- Decide what to trust and what to verify in AI output, matching the level of checking to the stakes
- Ask productive, well-informed questions in conversations with technical teams and AI vendors, and tell a specific answer from a slogan
- Apply a decision framework to AI investment, vendor and policy decisions, reaching a clear yes, no or not yet with a specific ask
- Identify their key AI leadership responsibilities and build a personal AI Leadership Checklist, including the people they will consult and their plan for staying current
