Use AI where ambiguity is manageable

Document extraction, field suggestions, summarization and navigation can reduce repetitive work when users can verify the source.

Do not hide source evidence

AI outputs should link back to the document, requirement or supplier record used to generate the suggestion.

Keep approvals human-controlled

Material compliance decisions, external submissions and exceptions should remain subject to designated reviewer approval.

Measure error and correction

Teams should monitor extraction accuracy, rejected suggestions and the types of records that require manual handling.
