ComputerWorld.com reported that “AI chatbots have been with us three years and one month (at least the kind that use large language models (LLMs) to communicate with natural-sounding words). Already norms are emerging in some professions for users to disclose how they use AI.” The January 23, 2026 article entitled “Always disclose how you use AI” (https://www.computerworld.com/article/4120839/always-disclose-how-you-use-ai.html) included these examples of professions for users to disclose how they use AI:
*Organizations such as the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors created policies for disclosing AI use in scientific manuscripts.
*Some US lawyers are required to declare how AI tools are used for content presented in court, and the State Bar of California advises lawyers to tell clients when they intend to use AI during representation.
*Amazon requires book sellers to disclose whether their books are AI-generated.
