Standards

AI Writing Evidence-Binding Standard (Draft)

AI-assisted writing must follow three rules:

01

Retrieval must be human-performed

Never ask AI to find or generate references. All source materials must be retrieved by the researcher from verified databases.

02

Generation must be source-restricted

AI can only work with materials you explicitly provide. No external knowledge, no invented facts, no fabricated citations.

03

Claims must be evidence-mapped

Every claim in the output must trace back to a specific paragraph in a real, verifiable source. No source, no claim.

This is the minimum requirement for trustworthy AI writing.
