# Implement AI Red Teaming for Novices

**Action:** Train early-career employees to critically interrogate AI outputs rather than accepting them at face value. Implement [[concept-red-teaming-ai|red-teaming]] exercises in which juniors act as skeptics or competitors — probing AI drafts for incorrect assumptions, missing data, or logical flaws — and then defend their critiques to senior colleagues.

**Outcome:** Development of critical thinking and professional judgment, directly countering the risk documented in [[claim-uncritical-ai-use-harms-novices]] (novices who accept AI uncritically underperform). This is step #2 ('focus on augmenting skills') of [[framework-redesign-entry-level]].
