History and the Current Generative AI Policies and the Case for a Universal Disclosure Log.

The rapid pace of AI progress outstrips our ability to regulate it effectively. Despite a trend toward disclosure and transparency in most journals, there is still no consistent language regarding what should be reported, where it should appear, or how detailed that reporting should be. We map the evolution of journals and editorial body policies, highlight the recent GAMER statement as a practical response, compare it to other recommendations, and argue that a universal disclosure log could serve as a common minimum standard while remaining compatible with more specialized frameworks.
