AI, judgment and provenance

Needs a person: Human judgment stays on: insurance advisor decisions that commit money, rights, safety, medical or confidential artist information.

Do not: Do not upload unreleased recordings, private contacts, medical data or other people’s identity documents into tools that claim training rights you have not accepted. Do not clone a voice or likeness without documented authority.

QA habit: Keep a provenance note: tool, date, inputs allowed, what a person changed, and who approved. Prompts alone are not a U.S. copyrightability strategy.
