Overview
How might we design auto tagging so people can trust and act on AI output?
When to use
- Ideal for content management systems, knowledge bases, and collaborative platforms where automatic tagging improves content organization and discoverability.
When to skip
- Strict controlled vocabularies with no new tags allowed.
- Content too short for meaningful labels.
- Auto tags applied with no review in regulated records.
Rules
Tags applied silently with no undo.
Duplicate or near-duplicate tags flooding the field.
Tags that expose private inference in shared spaces.
No confidence or why-this-tag explanation.
