f. Privacy and Consent. In addition to use its own artificial intelligence (“AI”) model, Sibme uses a third-party AI model to assist in the provision of the Services.  While much of the AI and its potential has exciting benefits, there do exist concerns about the development and use of AI.

g. Reliance on Generative AI.  Any Generative AI content has been created by a generative artificial intelligence model.

You should know that SIBME DOES NOT EXAMINE OR REVIEW GENERATIVE AI CONTENT BEFORE IT HAS BEEN PRODUCED TO ITS CUSTOMERS.  CONSEQUENTLY, SIBME MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS AS TO THE ACCURACY OF ANY GENERATIVE AI CONTENT. THUS, YOU USE OF ANY GENERATIVE AI CONTENT AND AI TOOLS AT YOUR OWN RISK.  SIBME RECOMMENDS THAT YOU EXAMINE THE GENERATIVE AI CONTENT AND PERFORM YOUR OWN DUE DILIGENCE BEFORE USING IT.  BY OPTING-IN TO ANY AI TOOLS, YOU WAIVE ANY CLAIMS AND LIABILITY AGAINST SIBME ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE AI TOOLS AND GENERATIVE AI CONTENT YOU RECEIVE FROM SIBME. THIS WAIVER APPLIES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT HAPPENS TO BE SIBME’S AI MODEL (I.E. AI TOOLS) OR THAT OF A THIRD PARTY THAT PRODUCED THE GENERATIVE AI CONTENT.  YOU MUST PERFORM YOUR OWN DUE DILIGENCE.
