From fe1b7f35ebae0c8e22f7aa50e298b24ed815a056 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: vaaraio <267591518+vaaraio@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 18:06:07 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] fix(docs): drop Recital 133 misattribution from conformal explainer Recital 133 of the EU AI Act is about synthetic content watermarking under Article 50, not detection of non-conformities or accuracy verification. The conformal-prediction.md and v0.28.0 CHANGELOG entry both cited it incorrectly. Dropping the recital reference; the Article 15(1) anchor stands on its own and is verified against the AI Act text. --- CHANGELOG.md | 5 ++--- docs/conformal-prediction.md | 12 ++++-------- 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 5d68095..f6c0da8 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -33,9 +33,8 @@ ships both. `docs/formal_specification.md`.
