How to use this guide without confusing support with verification.

This section establishes the workshop's working model: why it exists, what it covers, and where human verification still has to take over no matter how polished the answer sounds.

What the session covers

  • Breaking claims into checkable questions.
  • Choosing a tool based on the task.
  • Organizing checks across text, images, video, and document packs.
  • Understanding limits and risks before trusting any output.

What the session does not claim

  • It is not a full investigative or digital forensics course.
  • It is not a deep benchmark of every model.
  • It does not turn AI into a source or witness.

Session Core Guide

This guide explains why the session exists and what it promises: a practical understanding of AI-assisted verification without treating AI as a source.

  • A simple definition of AI-assisted verification.
  • A central message: AI is a thinking and workflow aid, not a final authority.
  • A clear boundary around what the session covers and what it does not.

Session Delivery Map
