Asking better research questions
Learn
Start broad to map a topic, then narrow down. Ask the AI to list key terms, debates and questions you should be asking.
Use AI to understand, and real sources to confirm.

AI can invent sources or misquote them. Open every link and confirm the claim appears there.
Prefer original sources: official sites, published papers, reputable news.
Practise This
Ask for three sources on a topic and verify each one exists and says what was claimed.
