Instructors should-not rely detector output.
Situation & purpose
An AI system or employee activity involves detector output. Confirm the actor and source conditions before using this template.
Provide a traceable control for the action: rely detector output.
Examples
- Meets the rule
- instructors performs the required action "rely" for detector output within these source conditions: Within the source scope; assess applicability before adoption., and retains evidence.
- Does not meet the rule
- instructors omits the required action "rely" for detector output while those source conditions apply.
- Outside scope
- The actor, activity, jurisdiction, or applicability conditions in this source variant do not match.
Evidence & enforcement
- Dated record of the action
- Responsible actor and approval, where required
- Applicable source edition and scope
Human or authorized system adapter required. Machine-executable: no. Convert to a reviewed organization contract and validate the adapter before deployment.
Limits
A rule card is an interpretation aid, not an applicability determination.
Equivalent intent does not make different source obligations interchangeable.
Owner review
Record your interpretation decision. This does not adopt a policy for an organization.
