Class
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#AI-GeneratedWorkProductState
Definition
State in which a professional's work product has been substantially generated or drafted by artificial intelligence tools, creating obligations regarding disclosure of AI use, verification of accuracy and originality, professional accountability for the output, and compliance with applicable professional and legal standards governing AI-assisted work.
Properties
Subclass of
Action Constraints
Should not omit disclosure of AI use where professional standards or client expectations require transparency
Should not rely on AI outputs for safety-critical design elements without independent verification
Should not seal or submit AI-generated work without thorough independent review
Activation Conditions
AI output is incorporated into a deliverable submitted to a client or stamped with a professional seal
AI software is used to generate a draft report, design document, or other professional work product
Confidence
0.9
Obligation Activation
Obligation to disclose AI tool use to clients and relevant parties
Obligation to ensure AI-generated work meets professional and regulatory standards before sealing or submitting
Obligation to take professional responsibility for all content regardless of its generative origin
Obligation to verify accuracy, originality, and completeness of AI-generated content
Persistence Type
inertial
Principle Transformation
Transforms general honesty, competence, and professional accountability principles into specific duties of disclosure, verification, and independent review when AI tools contribute substantially to a professional work product.

Engineer A did not cite the AI-assisted drafting tools they used to generate the engineering design documents
Engineer A did not cite their use of AI-software or its large language models, and submitted the draft report to Client W for review
Engineer A opted to use open-sourced artificial intelligence (AI) software to create an initial draft of the necessary report and to use AI-assisted drafting tools to generate preliminary design documents
