Guidelines for controlled and verifiable use of AI in AOWIS.

Purpose

This document defines how Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools MAY be used in the creation, modification, and review of AOWIS documentation and system designs.

AOWIS is an Open Standard developed and curated by human experts. All submission will be checked and validated by human experts. The use of AI tools is acceptable only when assisting humans with spelling, grammar, or language clarity. It is strongly discouraged to let AI automatically "correct" whole texts or even paragraphs, and then just copy and paste it into the Wiki, because this will result in "hallucinations" (false, made up content) sneaking into the Wiki. If you want to use AI to check your grammar and spelling or your language and tone in general, the suggested way is to ask it to point out to you suggestions to change, and you change it manually yourself if you find the suggestions helpful.

Replacing any sorts of actual research by AI hallucinated texts is strongly prohibited.

If AOWIS staff detect AI-generated content in any submission, enforcement actions may be taken depending on severity. Detection may be based on the judgment of staff members, as determining AI usage is not always fully certain. When staff reasonably conclude that a violation has occurred, this may result in rejection of the submission, a warning, or suspension of the contributor’s account.

Requirements

REQ-AI-001: All AI-assisted content MUST originate from human authors. Human contributors remain responsible for the content they submit.

REQ-AI-002: AI MAY be used to suggest improvements in spelling, grammar, tone, or structure, but MUST NOT generate complete sections or research content without human authorship.

REQ-AI-003: AI-assisted content MUST be reviewed and manually applied by the contributor before inclusion in any AOWIS document.

REQ-AI-004: Contributors MUST NOT copy AI outputs directly into the wiki without substantive human review.

REQ-AI-005: AOWIS staff MAY review submissions. Detection MAY be based on staff judgment, and reasonable conclusions of AI misuse MAY result in warnings, rejection, or suspension of contributor privileges.

Definitions

Artificial Intelligence (AI): A software system capable of generating text, suggestions, or structured outputs based on input prompts.

AI-Generated Content: Any text, structure, or data produced by an AI system.

Human Reviewer: A person responsible for verifying correctness, compliance, and safety of content.

Normative Content: Content that defines requirements using MUST, SHOULD, or MAY.

Notes

AI can accelerate drafting and improve clarity, but it does not understand real-world constraints, failure modes, or safety implications.

In low-resource environments, incorrect assumptions can lead to system failure. Human oversight ensures that designs remain grounded in operational reality.

AI is most effective when used for:

  • Structuring documents
  • Rewriting unclear text
  • Generating examples
  • Identifying inconsistencies

AI is least reliable when used for:

  • Safety-critical reasoning
  • Context-specific engineering decisions
