Disclosure line
A plain, factual sentence attached to an artifact that states what AI did and how you checked it. It is not a legal disclaimer or an apology; it is a record made at the time. The disclosure habit is the single practice that separates a defensible operator from the concealment that caused the Sports Illustrated failure.
Defined in 2 GAGE programs, which carry 3 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in Certified AI Governance Professional (CAIGP).
How each discipline defines it

How job descriptions say it
Postings rarely use the textbook word. These are the phrases the careers map reads as asking for the competencies above.
Where the frameworks place it: Administrative Procedure Act.
One interview question about it
Give me the one-page version of a complex AI policy question, written for a decision-maker with ten minutes.
Asked of candidates for policy analysis and decision-ready writing. Answering it in your own words is exactly how a GAGE topic is passed, and the credential records the pass where an employer can check it.

Some backgrounds already carry this competency, and the readiness check gives credit for it.
- Legal and paralegal work carries it as work you can show: Memos, briefs and drafted terms are your record.
- Policy, legislative and government affairs staff carries it as work you can show: Briefs, memos and comparisons are your portfolio.
- Recent graduate in law, policy, business or data carries it as a claim to back up: Research and analytical writing from your degree.
