Safe harbor
A legal protection built into Rule 2165 that shields a broker dealer and its employee from certain other FINRA rules when the firm places a hold in good faith, consistent with Rule 2165's requirements, which is part of why trained employees are willing to act on a hold request quickly; it does not protect a hold placed in bad faith or through gross negligence.
Defined in 3 GAGE programs, which carry 3 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in Senior AI Scam Defense.
How each discipline defines it
The same term does different work depending on who is using it. These are the definitions as each program teaches them, unedited.

Where the frameworks place it: EU AI Act Article 50; OECD AI Principles; OMB M-25-21 and M-25-22; Colorado SB 24-205.
One interview question about it
How do you decide what you may put into an AI tool at work, and how do you tell people when AI helped produce something?
Asked of candidates for responsible and disclosed use of ai at work. 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.
If you come from another field
Some backgrounds already carry this competency, and the readiness check gives credit for it.
- Policy, legislative and government affairs staff carries it as a claim to back up: You follow federal and state developments already.
- A public policy, political science or international relations degree carries it as a claim to back up: US federal and state process is familiar; the AI statutes are new.
- Elder services, social work, banking front line and fraud teams carries it as a claim to back up: Safeguarding vulnerable people is the profession.
