Paid Learning Context
Original baseline context: Students learn the six categories of information never to enter into any AI research tool, Perplexity's specific data practices and privacy controls, how to evaluate source trust hierarchy, and the five categories requiring non-negotiable professional human review.
The paid version of this course treats the topic as a production workflow. Students must leave with a usable artifact, a reusable method, and evidence that the result was reviewed rather than blindly accepted.
