Responsible deployment requires users to receive an accurate representation of the system with which they are interacting. Option C provides that transparency while also establishing a practical escalation path. Disclosure should be proportionate to the material role AI plays, expressed in language appropriate to the audience, and aligned with organizational policy and applicable regulatory obligations.

A documented human-contact route is important when the assistant cannot resolve an issue, produces a disputed result, encounters a high-impact exception, or handles a matter requiring human authority. Anthropic’s Responsible Scaling Policy recognizes escalation to human reviewers as an appropriate safeguard for edge cases and situations requiring human judgment. Responsible Scaling Policy

Options A and D intentionally conceal material AI involvement from affected users, weakening informed decision-making, auditability, and trust. Option B is also unsuitable because transparency does not require revealing proprietary prompts, confidential controls, or internal security mechanisms; however, it does require an honest explanation of AI involvement and the system’s operational role.

The correct design combines disclosure, understandable limitations, human escalation, and records demonstrating that the organization’s transparency requirements are consistently applied.
