The ID30 Code of Conduct for AI-Augmented Consultants

You’ve received a content that was obviously AI-generated, not reviewed, full of bullet points, with errors jumping off the page 🫣 .. you know that feeling, right ?

Then you stop reading 😤 You end up spending more time correcting it than if you would have done it yourself… ✍

I receive that kind of content regularly… And honestly? When I’m under pressure, I do it too.. 🤫 Mea culpa. 🙏

The real problem isn’t AI. It’s the absence of discipline around it. 🫡

We’re caught in a strange paradox: proud to use AI, but embarrassed to admit it.. The impostor syndrome 😥..

The answer isn’t to hide it. It’s to use it well, openly, and with a shared standard. 💡

🏗️ After months of receiving quick-and-dirty AI content (and being honest, so as was sometimes my own production..) I have put together the #ID30CodeOfConductForAIAugmentedConsultant.

A sanity check list composed of 12 rules within 3 categories for zero tolerance on lazy output.

• 🔵#Sovereignty & #Accountability 👉 #1 AI relevance #2 Think before prompting #3 Iterating #4 Maintaining expertise.
• 🔴#Quality & #Transmission 👉 #5 Never deliver raw AI output. #6 Respect readers. #7 Check relevance. #8 Invest time on quality.
• 🟢#Ethics & #Transparency 👉 #9 Be transparent about AI use. #10 Stay being the author #11 Verify facts. #12 Protect confidentiality.

Inspired by my own reflections on AI cognitive debt and Anthropic’s 4D AI Fluency Framework (a hat tip to Enzo Gautier for flagging that framework to me 🙌)

The impact has been immediate

• ✅Stop dealing with quick & dirty income: Asking “have you applied the 12 rules?” resets any conversation smoothly without drama but firmly.
• ✅Not shaming but giving the tools for continuous improvement of your co-workers
• ✅Improing my own deliverables: Applying them to my own work makes me faster and sharper, not slower.

⚡ And it turns AI use from something we’re vaguely ashamed of into something we own and defend.

Three formats, for three moments

• 📊Slideware: one slide per rule, full DO / DON’T detail. Ready ✅
• 📋One-pager: quick checklist for pre-submission review. Ready ✅
• 📖Practical implementation guide: deeper methodology. On-going ⚙️

The ambition? Change how we collectively use AI in professional exchanges.

Use it fully. Use it proudly. Use it well. 🎯

This post was drafted with Claude. Reviewed, reworked, and owned. Rule #5 applies, and it directly follows from my recent article on AI Cognitive Debt, where I first explored why discipline matters more than the tool itself. 😉
