AI Training and Model Development
We are committed to ethical AI practices. We do not use personal user data to train our AI models without explicit, opt-in consent. Any AI model improvements use only aggregated, anonymized data or synthetic datasets that cannot be traced back to individual users.
⚠️ AI Content Limitations
While our AI strives for accuracy, AI-generated content may contain errors, biases, or inaccuracies. You are responsible for reviewing and validating all AI-generated content before use. Our AI provides suggestions and insights, not professional career advice.
