AI does not know what it does not know.
When an AI produces an incorrect answer, it does so with exactly the same tone, formatting and apparent authority as a correct one. A hallucinated MARPOL Annex reference looks identical to an accurate one. A fabricated circular number reads no differently from a real one.
This toolkit addresses that one specific failure mode — and gives you a verification process you can evidence.
What’s inside
- 10 warning signs your AI is hallucinating, each with a maritime example and the action to take
- 27 high-risk scenarios across ISM/SMS, risk assessment, incident investigation, regulatory compliance, audits, training and emergency preparedness — each with a detection question
- 5-step verification framework plus a pre-issue checklist with sign-off blocks
- 15 detection prompts written for maritime QHSE contexts
- Safe AI Use Policy template — 10 sections, ready to adapt into your SMS
- 6 human review checklists by task type
- AI verification record and running log — your evidence trail
- Print-ready quick-reference card
Source-verified edition. Every regulatory reference is listed in Appendix A with its status and primary instrument. Illustrative examples are labelled as illustrative. Corrections from the previous edition are published openly in the change log — because a toolkit about accuracy should be able to demonstrate its own.
Formats: 28-page PDF + editable Microsoft Word file containing the policy, checklists, records and prompt library.
