AI Model Disclosure Statement

1. Overview of AI Technology

The AST Platform may integrate AI models provided by third-party providers, which can include services from companies such as Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, or other approved vendors.

These models generate responses dynamically based on user input and system configuration. Specific model availability may change over time and may vary across different applications within the AST Platform.

2. General Description of Model Operation

AI models used within the AST Platform are trained by their providers on a mixture of licensed data, data created by human trainers, and publicly available information.

In general, these systems process input text or other permitted inputs and generate responses based on learned patterns rather than direct knowledge of individual users.

3. What the AI Systems Do Not Do

• They do not independently browse the internet in real time unless explicitly stated for a specific feature
• They do not intentionally identify individual users
• They do not create advertising profiles within the AST Platform
• They do not autonomously connect to external social platforms without user-initiated action

Model behavior is constrained by technical, policy, and safety limitations imposed by providers and platform controls.

4. Interaction With User Data

To generate responses, the AST Platform may transmit user inputs to third-party AI services on a temporary basis.

Data handling practices are governed by applicable agreements and privacy policies. Inputs are not used by the AST Platform for advertising profiling.

Limited logging may occur for security, debugging, performance monitoring, or abuse prevention purposes, subject to applicable law and internal retention controls.

5. AI Limitations

AI-generated outputs may:

• Contain inaccuracies or outdated information
• Simplify complex subjects
• Misinterpret ambiguous prompts
• Fail to replace professional or expert advice

Users should independently verify important information before relying on AI-generated outputs.

6. Safety and Content Controls

The AST Platform applies content moderation and safety mechanisms to reduce the likelihood of harmful or inappropriate outputs. Effectiveness may vary depending on context, model limitations, and user interaction.

7. Third-Party AI Providers

AI features may rely on third-party providers. Each provider maintains its own model architecture, policies, and update cycles, which may evolve independently of the AST Platform.

8. User Responsibilities

Users are responsible for how they interpret and apply AI-generated information. The AST Platform serves as a supplemental technology tool and does not replace professional, legal, medical, financial, or other expert advice unless explicitly stated for a specific service.
