AI transparency

1. Our use of AI

AI-AO may use artificial intelligence as a support tool for research, drafting, translation, summarisation, software development, and image editing. AI supports our work; it does not replace our responsibility for what we publish or deliver.

2. Human review and editorial responsibility

Public website content and Knowledge Hub articles are reviewed by a person before publication. AI-AO retains editorial responsibility for published material. Important claims should be checked against suitable sources, and content may be corrected when new information becomes available.

3. When you interact with Open_H

Open_H is an authenticated generative AI assistant. Access requires acceptance of the current service information through a confirmation sent to the account email address. The interface identifies the assistant as AI and warns that its output may be inaccurate.

4. AI-generated and manipulated content

Where legally required, realistic synthetic or materially manipulated image, audio, or video content will be clearly disclosed. We also seek to preserve or add machine-readable provenance information when supported by the tools and publishing channel. AI-generated text concerning matters of public interest will be disclosed when required, including where it is published without human review or editorial control.

5. How Open_H produces answers

Open_H sends masked prompts and selected context to configured external AI and embedding providers. Retrieval-augmented generation searches administrator-approved document passages, and approved ontology relationships may add structured context. Citations identify retrieved sources, but a citation does not prove that the answer interpreted the source correctly.

6. Limitations and safeguards

AI systems can produce inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or outdated results. PII detection and masking reduce disclosure risk but cannot guarantee that every sensitive value is found. Users should not submit information they are not authorised to share and should not treat AI output as individual legal, medical, financial, security, or other professional advice.

Access, message frequency, and usage are limited. Administrators manage the knowledge base and may review masked technical and safety records. Open_H is not used to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about users.

7. Questions and feedback

Questions about our use of AI, or reports of content that may be inaccurate or insufficiently labelled, can be sent to info@ai-ao.net.
