The premise
Readers deserve to know where AI helped. A clear, reusable disclosure template earns trust without bogging down every doc.
What AI does well here
- Draft a short, neutral disclosure block.
- List specific tasks AI assisted with (drafting, summarizing, translating).
- List specific tasks AI did not do (analysis, decisions, fact-checking).
What AI cannot do
- Know your organization's required disclosure rules.
- Replace your judgment on what counts as 'meaningful' AI use.
- Verify your disclosure is true.
