Contingent
section 14
Borrowed accountability is a crime. No operator shall represent that human review occurred by means of a credential, timestamp, or prior assent carried forward to a decision the orchestrator did not personally review.
Section 14 of the AISI Act makes borrowed accountability a crime. No operator shall represent that human review occurred by means of a credential, timestamp, or prior assent carried forward to a decision the orchestrator did not personally review.

Essential: The provision is tested when AI systems become sophisticated enough to impersonate their operators. Can a credential ever be truly non-transferable?
