Responsible use
1. Purpose
CEYO is designed to support verifiable evidentiary infrastructure for AI systems through deterministic artifact generation, integrity preservation, and independent verification workflows.
Responsible use of CEYO depends not only on the technical system itself, but on the way operators choose to deploy, govern, review, and interpret the systems and records associated with it.
2. Intended use
CEYO is intended to support:
• independent verification of AI-generated records
• audit and review workflows
• institutional accountability processes
• controlled disclosure of verifiable system evidence
• post-hoc analysis of recorded system behavior
3. Not a certification system
CEYO does not certify legality, policy compliance, fairness, correctness, or social acceptability of AI system outputs.
Verification of a CEYO artifact means that the artifact was generated and validated according to its declared evidentiary process. It does not mean that the underlying decision was correct, lawful, ethical, or safe.
4. Operator responsibility
Organizations deploying CEYO or CEYO-like workflows remain responsible for:
• the underlying AI system and its outputs
• applicable law, policy, and regulatory obligations
• key management and security controls
• disclosure controls and review procedures
• governance and oversight processes around deployment
5. Prohibited or inappropriate use
CEYO should not be used to:
• falsely imply regulatory certification or institutional approval
• conceal unlawful, harmful, or deceptive system behavior
• fabricate or tamper with evidentiary records
• mislead affected persons or oversight bodies regarding system guarantees
• bypass accountability or substitute for legal or human review where required
6. Transparency and disclosure discipline
Responsible use requires clarity about what CEYO artifacts represent, what was captured, what was excluded, and what a successful verification result does and does not prove.
Operators should avoid overstating the meaning of verification results and should ensure that disclosure policies are defined before artifacts are created.
7. High-risk environments
Where CEYO is evaluated in high-risk, regulated, or institutionally sensitive environments, organizations should ensure that deployment is accompanied by appropriate review, legal assessment, operational safeguards, and governance controls.
8. Public reporting and concerns
Questions or concerns relating to public-site misuse, misleading representations, or related responsible-use matters may be submitted through the CEYO contact page.
