AOWIS AI Usage Guide v1.0

From AOWIS


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 submissions 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 pages or 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, and will lead to degraded content quality. 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. Through this you will also enhance your own skills and abilities, while through simple copy & paste you will not learn anything.

Replacing any actual research or engineering work with AI-generated content MUST NOT be done.

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 has a tendency to pretend it would be able to do anything. However usually AI created content is typically shallow, poorly grounded in reality, repetitive and not well structured. It is important to understand the strengths and weaknesses of AI tools: They can be useful as a support tool to assist human authors, but they MUST NOT be used as content creators.

AI is acceptable when used for:

  • Checking tone, grammar and spelling
  • Helping phrase human-drafted content to match the AOWIS Writing Style Guide
  • Identifying inconsistencies

AI is NOT acceptable when used:

  • To avoid effort
  • To reduce costs
  • To write full articles or even paragraphs
  • Replace any sort of real research
