What is a generative AI draft?
A generative AI draft is newly produced text, imagery, code, or another output created from instructions and learned patterns. It can help a person start or reorganize work, but it is not an approved fact, decision, or business record until a responsible person checks it.
Key points
- Fluent output can still be wrong, incomplete, outdated, or invented.
- Use the output as material to inspect rather than authority to obey.
- Keep a named person responsible for the final version and action.
Limits and exceptions
- Different tools, versions, settings, and prompts can produce different results.
- This definition does not determine whether a specific business use is permitted or appropriate.
