VERSION 1.0 · AI USE: DECLARED STANDARD

The Transparency Pledge.

Publishing how something was made is an act of respect—for audiences, collaborators and the work itself. Everyone joining AI USE: DECLARED commits to these principles.

  1. 01

    Tell the truth.

    I will describe the role of AI accurately and will not minimise, exaggerate or conceal its contribution.

  2. 02

    Choose the clearest badge.

    When more than one category seems possible, I will choose the one that makes AI’s involvement most visible.

  3. 03

    Give credit responsibly.

    I will not use transparency badges to erase the work, rights or authorship of collaborators and source creators.

  4. 04

    Keep the record current.

    If the project or its process changes materially, I will update its disclosure.

  5. 05

    Do not imply certification.

    I understand that AI USE: DECLARED records a disclosure. It does not certify accuracy, legality, safety, quality or ownership.

  6. 06

    Correct mistakes openly.

    If I discover that a disclosure is misleading or wrong, I will correct it promptly rather than leave a false impression.
