AI can draft, recommend, analyze, communicate—and increasingly act on your behalf. But capability and authority are not the same thing.
Capability is what AI can do.
Authority is what we allow it to do.
Get the free Rule the Tool™ AI Authority Check—five practical questions to help you decide whether AI should be involved, how much authority it should receive, and what must remain human.
Before you delegate a task, recommendation, decision, or action to AI, run it through these five questions.
01 - DISCERN
Should AI be involved?
02 - DELEGATE
How much authority should it receive?
03 - VERIFY
What must I verify?
04 - PROTECT
What am I exposing?
05 - OWN
Am I willing to own the outcome?
The Rule the Tool™ AI Authority Check helps you move beyond one of the most common questions about artificial intelligence:
“Can AI do this?”
The better question is:
“Should I give AI the authority to do this?”
Use the Authority Check before delegating an important task, recommendation, decision, or action to AI.

2 pages. 5 questions. One practical framework for making more intentional AI decisions.
AI will continue becoming more capable. The question is whether we will become more intentional
about the authority we give it.
