Claim: IBM published an AI Attribution Toolkit in 2025 that captures contribution type, amount, and review process, and describes itself as "a first pass" at a voluntary standard.
BLUF: Confirmed. IBM Research published the AI Attribution Toolkit on May 13, 2025. It captures three dimensions: (1) how much work the human did relative to the AI, (2) what the AI's contributions were, and (3) who reviewed and approved the final work. IBM Research explicitly describes it as "a first pass at formulating what a voluntary reporting standard might look like."
Probability: Almost certain (95-99%) | Confidence: High
