Does ISO 42001 or NIST AI RMF cover this duty?
Requirement-level mappings from Shieldra's crosswalk pack (v2026.07.30). Partial mappings contribute evidence but deliberately do not count as coverage.
| Mapped requirement | Strength | Why (and what’s missing) |
|---|
| ISO/IEC 42001 A.8 | Partial | Disclosures for AI-generated public-interest text can ride on A.8 communication processes, but the publication duty and its editorial-review exemption are EU-specific. |
| NIST AI RMF MEASURE-2.8 | Partial | Disclosing AI-generated public-interest text feeds the transparency examination; the publication duty itself has no RMF counterpart. |
