Verification before reliance
AI-assisted output should be checked against relevant evidence before it is relied upon for material use.
Responsible AI
AI can assist intelligence work without becoming the authority for it.
VLC uses a governance-led approach to AI-assisted work: evidence remains relevant, uncertainty remains visible and accountability does not disappear because automation is involved.
Responsible intelligence principles
What responsible use should involve.
Public principles describe the control intent without publishing internal prompts, model-selection logic or proprietary operating mechanics.
Accountability remains governed
Where impact, ambiguity or governance sensitivity makes it appropriate, human review remains part of the decision environment.
Material conclusions should remain interpretable
Enough context should remain available to understand what supported or limited the resulting conclusion.
Use controlled environments
Client data and governance-sensitive information should remain within authorised handling boundaries.
Do not manufacture certainty
Where evidence cannot answer a specific question, the result may remain Unknown. The explanation should identify that question, the missing or insufficient evidence and the effect on the intended use. Conflicting evidence should be described separately so the reason for uncertainty remains clear.
Controlled use
AI may support defined tasks. It does not determine evidential truth.
AI is one possible assistance layer inside a governed process. Its output remains subject to evidence, intended use and accountable human judgement.

Public assurance explains the accountability model.
Detailed internal AI procedures, prompts, model-selection rules, thresholds, escalation mechanics and proprietary reasoning templates remain governed internally.
