Together they allow a human to interrogate, test, revise, endorse, and take responsibility for AI-assisted work.</div><div><br></div><div>From this model, the essay argues that ethical AI collaboration requires three components: human governance, human judgment with Integrity, and human responsibility for the final product. It then applies the framework to nonfiction writing, challenging the idea that authorship should be measured mainly by the percentage of AI-generated words or labor. What matters more is whether a human genuinely governed the inquiry, sufficiently verified the claims, exercised judgment, endorsed the result, and stands behind it.</div><div><br></div><div>This is a Restricted GD share folder (to preserve first publication rights), but ofc members of this list who ask will be allowed access.
