While seeking review for publishing the Java variant of this SDK, @karianna wrote:

There is std MSFT AI safety boilerplate around using AI that we could insert here.

Some cursory research 1 revealed this file as a possible way to satisfy this request:

https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/blob/main/TRANSPARENCY_FAQS.md

I observe there is no such file in this repository.

This issue seeks to explore the utility of adding such a file.

Please feel free to assign this issue to me.

The upstream copilot-sdk-00-main repo has no AI safety boilerplate of any kind. The only disclaimers found are:

Technical Preview notice in each language SDK README: "This SDK is in technical preview and may change in breaking ways."
Community SDKs disclaimer in the top-level README: "These are unofficial, community-driven SDKs and they are not supported by GitHub. Use at your own risk."
Production suitability note in the FAQ: "...currently in Technical Preview...may not yet be suitable for production use."
No TRANSPARENCY_FAQS.md, no responsible AI sections, no AI-generated content disclaimers, no bias/hallucination warnings — nothing like the Semantic Kernel TRANSPARENCY_FAQS.md template exists in the upstream repo.

So if @karianna wants to add the standard Microsoft AI safety boilerplate, the Java SDK would be pioneering it for this project family. The best template to follow remains TRANSPARENCY_FAQS.md from microsoft/semantic-kernel.
