Quality and evidence, control 15 of 15
Q-15 Apply the same quality standard to AI-assisted production
AI assistance does not remove requirements for accuracy, usefulness and honest representation. A disclosure does not make low-value or deceptive content acceptable.
- Priority
- High priority.
- Hard gate
- No
- Change class
- AUTO_WITH_TEST: A candidate requiring relevant tests.
- Quality bucket
- Freshness and maintenance plan
Why it matters
Content produced with AI can still contain factual errors or repeat what already exists, and readers pay for that when no one checks it. Google's spam policies and its guidance on helpful content apply to content whatever tool produced it. A disclosure that does not match the real workflow adds a further trust problem.
Evidence to review
- Production workflow, review evidence and representative content-quality checks.
How to implement
- Check facts, duplication, source use and actual value before release.
- Describe AI assistance where it is reasonably relevant to reader understanding or required by applicable policy.
- Do not fabricate a human reviewer or approval.
- Keep expert review mandatory for designated high-impact content.
How UltimateSEO checks this
Needs your evidence. No automated check covers this control, so it stays UNKNOWN until evidence is supplied.
Evidence needed: the review process applied to AI-assisted drafts before publication.
States used: PASS, FAIL, UNKNOWN, NOT_APPLICABLE or BLOCKED. UNKNOWN is never shown as a pass. How states work.
