AI feature ethics audit

Prompt template
I am planning to build an AI-powered feature: [DESCRIBE FEATURE].

It will: [WHAT IT DOES]
It will use: [WHAT DATA IT USES]
Users will: [HOW USERS INTERACT WITH IT]

Audit this feature for:
1. Data privacy risks (what data is being processed, by whom, under what terms)
2. Hallucination risks (what happens if the AI output is wrong)
3. Bias risks (whose experience might be negatively affected)
4. Transparency requirements (do users know AI is involved)
5. Legal considerations (GDPR, consumer protection, sector-specific regulation)

For each risk: severity (high/medium/low), likelihood, and a specific mitigation recommendation.
Be direct - I want to know the real risks, not reassurance.

How to use it well

  1. Replace every [BRACKETED] placeholder - vague inputs produce vague outputs.
  2. Add your role and constraints at the top if your assistant does not already know them.
  3. Critique the first answer explicitly (“too generic because…”) and ask for a second pass.
  4. Save the version that worked into a project or system prompt so you never retype it.
