Editorial standards and legal-source review

Who writes and reviews this site

AI Policy File is created and maintained by Jason Ramirez, the site owner and maintainer. He is not an attorney and does not claim legal credentials. Unless a page expressly names a qualified professional reviewer, the page has not been reviewed by a lawyer. That limitation is shown because legal credentials should never be implied.

Source hierarchy

Legal claims start with enacted statutes, regulations, official codes, and official agency guidance. Government summaries may clarify timing or administration, but they do not replace the controlling text. Each guide links the primary sources used. Secondary commentary is not treated as authority for a legal conclusion.

Review method

1. Confirm the current text, status, application or operative date, and amendments.
2. Separate provider, deployer, advertiser, publisher, and platform roles.
3. State important thresholds, knowledge standards, exceptions, and enforcement limits.
4. Test checker paths for conservative screening rather than definitive legal outcomes.
5. Record the review date and schedule the next source check.

The checker cannot determine jurisdiction, legal status, compliance, defenses, or an enforcement outcome. It highlights facts and official sources that may warrant review.
