1# Professional, Ethical, and Human Review

Professional, Ethical, and Human Review

3## Accountability

5Automation may organize verified facts but cannot assume professional accountability. A named, qualified human must review each domain and take responsibility in the authorized system.

7The ICMJE Recommendations, updated January 2026, retain four authorship criteria: substantive contribution; drafting or critical review; final approval; and accountability for accuracy and integrity. Writing assistance alone does not confer authorship. An AI system cannot be an author or approve a manuscript. Under the January 2026 recommendations, disclose the tool and purpose of AI assistance in the appropriate manuscript section and at submission according to the journal’s policy; accountable humans verify accuracy, attribution, and confidentiality. A skill/software citation does not replace that disclosure.

9## Research ethics

11The World Medical Association states that the **2024 Declaration of Helsinki** is the current official version. It applies to medical research involving human participants, including identifiable material or data, and emphasizes:

13- participant rights and interests over research goals;

14- privacy and confidentiality;

15- scientific validity and a documented protocol;

16- independent research-ethics review;

17- informed consent;

18- transparency and reporting.

20This skill neither performs ethics review nor determines whether an activity is research, exempt, or authorized.

22## Clinical-record confidentiality

24AMA Code of Medical Ethics Opinion 3.3.2 states that information recorded in patient care is confidential regardless of form and identifies access restriction, audit capability, security/integrity, retrieval, sharing, third-party access, and disposition as responsibilities for electronic records.

26Use institution-controlled systems for real clinical records. Local draft manifests should contain source locators and hashes rather than PHI.
