In short
Being open about where and how you use AI.
In plain English
Telling people when AI was involved in something they are reading, receiving or talking to — and being able to explain what it did.
A real example
A line at the foot of a report saying it was drafted with AI and reviewed by a named person. It costs nothing and pre-empts the awkward question.
Why it matters
Trust is lost when people discover it, not when they are told. Decide your position once, write it down, and be consistent about it.
