How this content is created

What the notice covers

The line “Created with artificial intelligence.” marks the texts across the entire public website: from guides and product pages through to contact, legal and error pages. It sits at the bottom of the introductory area of a page; on pages without that area, at the start of the content. This page here was created the same way.

We label uniformly as a precaution, without setting a separate exception for every public page. The notice describes how the content came about — it is not a confirmation that the content is correct and not a legal clearance. The signed-in dashboard and setup area is not part of this public labelling. That does not allow the conclusion that no AI was used there.

On scanner result pages the notice is more precise: “Explanations created with AI. Measurements collected automatically.”

• Measurements come from technical queries made at the scan time stated. Calculated points and grades follow the rules of the scanner; they are not measurements invented by an AI.
• Explanations and recommendations for these results were created with AI. They can be wrong or incomplete and have not undergone editorial review. The same distinction is explained in downloaded PDF, DOCX and CSV reports.
• Individual emails are not the subject of this website notice. Labelling a web page says nothing about every single message.

What the machine checks

Before a page is delivered, automated checks run over the text. They are built to forbid certain wordings: statements claiming that legal requirements are met; statements suggesting a certificate or an official confirmation; statements promising protection against attacks; and statements about the content of legal provisions that have demonstrably been circulating in a wrong form in recent years. On top of that come the usual build and test runs.

What these checks deliver is a statement about absence: that certain sentences are not there. They say nothing about whether what is there is correct. A comparison of every individual statement against its source does not take place on these pages.

Currency and ageing

The guide texts carry no editorial last-updated date. Such a date is only worth something if it marks a check or a production run of the content that actually took place. For these texts there is no such run — so no date is shown either. A date that nobody can honour would be worse than none.

A scan date, by contrast, names the moment of a technical measurement. It confirms no specialist review of the explanations that go with it. Dates in other documents refer to whatever those documents name.

Expect an article to age. That happens above all when a law is amended, when a standard gets a new version, or when a vendor mentioned changes its defaults or its interface. Check any statement you intend to rely on against the source the article names.
