Draft — This framework is actively being developed.
The content on this page is a work in progress as we develop a comprehensive framework that makes sense. It should not be taken as business advice and is subject to our Terms of Service.
The content was created entirely by AI and published without any human verification, fact-checking, or editorial review.
"No human in the loop. What you see is raw AI output."
What This Level Means
AI Created the Content End-to-End
From the initial prompt to the final output, an AI system generated 100% of this content. There was no human drafting, no human editing, and no human refinement of the AI's work.
Published Without Human Verification
No human read through the content to check for factual accuracy, coherence, appropriateness, or quality before it went live. The AI output was published as-is.
Automated Pipelines with No Human in the Loop
This typically occurs in fully automated systems: scheduled publishing, real-time generation, or high-volume content pipelines where human review isn't practical or intended.
Maximum Transparency About AI-Only Creation
By using A5, you're being completely honest that this is pure machine output. You're not pretending a human wrote it or even reviewed it. This is the most transparent disclosure possible.
Examples That Fit A5
A5 is appropriate when AI generates content that goes directly to audiences without human oversight:
Automated Chatbot Responses
Customer service bots that reply instantly without human moderation or approval queues.
Real-Time AI-Generated Content
Live streams, tickers, or feeds where AI produces content faster than humans could review.
Experimental AI Art/Writing Projects
Creative experiments where the entire point is showcasing raw, unfiltered AI output.
High-Frequency Automated Posts
Social media bots, news aggregators, or content farms publishing AI content at scale.
AI-Generated Code Comments
Inline documentation or comments auto-generated by AI tools without developer review.
Who's Accountable?
No human vouches for this content.
The reader assumes the risk of AI errors, hallucinations, factual inaccuracies, outdated information, or unintended biases. Without human review, there is no quality gate between the AI's output and your audience.
Why Disclose A5?
Even though A5 represents the highest level of AI involvement with the least human oversight, there are compelling reasons to be transparent about it:
Ethical Obligation
Audiences deserve to know when no human has verified what they're consuming. Honesty builds long-term trust.
Liability Protection
Clear disclosure that content is unreviewed may limit your exposure if AI produces harmful or inaccurate output.
Honest About Automation
Rather than pretending a human wrote it, you're being transparent about your automated content pipeline.
Legal Compliance
Many jurisdictions now require disclosure of AI-generated content. A5 helps you meet these requirements.
Respect Audience Autonomy
Readers can make informed decisions about how much to trust content when they know the source.
A5 vs A4: The Key Difference
AI generated it, but a human did a full read and fact-check before publishing. Someone vouches for the quality.
AI generated it and it went straight to publication. No human review, no fact-check, no quality gate.
The critical difference: A4 has a human checkpoint. A5 does not. If you're running high-volume automated content, be honest and use A5. If you're taking time to review AI output before publishing, use A4.
When A5 Makes Sense
Speed is Critical
Real-time applications like live chatbots, trading alerts, or breaking news summaries where human review would create unacceptable delays.
Volume is Too High
High-frequency publishing where reviewing every piece of content is economically or practically impossible.
Experimental Context
Art projects, research experiments, or demonstrations where showing raw AI output is the entire point.
Low-Stakes Content
Placeholder text, test content, or internal tools where the consequences of AI errors are minimal.
