7 Pontem AI Usage Policy

7.1

The Services use experimental artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology and may sometimes provide inaccurate or offensive content that doesn’t represent Pontem’s views. Use discretion before relying on, publishing, or otherwise using content provided by the Services. Don’t rely on the Services for medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice. Any content regarding those topics is provided for informational purposes only, such information will likely not be up to date – presently, the information available has not been updated since September 2021 – and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional.

7.2

You may provide input to the Services (“Input”), and receive output generated and returned by the Services based on the Input (“Output”). Input and Output are collectively referred to as “Content.” As between the parties and to the extent permitted by applicable law, you own all Input. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Pontem hereby assigns to you all its right, title and interest in and to the Output. This means you can use Content for any purpose, including commercial purposes such as sale or publication, if you comply with these Terms. Pontem may use Content to provide and maintain the Services, comply with applicable law, and enforce our policies. You are responsible for Content, including for ensuring that it does not violate any applicable law or these Terms.

7.3

Due to the nature of machine learning, Output may not be unique across users and the Services may generate the same or similar output for Pontem or a third party. For example, you may provide input to a model such as “What color is the ocean?” and receive output such as “The ocean is teal.” Other users may also ask similar questions and receive the same response. Responses that are requested by and generated for other users are not considered your Content.

7.4

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are rapidly evolving fields of study. We are constantly working to improve our Services to make them more accurate, reliable, safe, and beneficial. Given the probabilistic nature of machine learning, use of our Services may in some situations result in incorrect Output that does not accurately reflect real people, places, or facts.
