What AI cannot do.

Know the limits, keep the responsibility.

6 limits.#

Guarantee truth

Language models calculate what is likely. Facts, quotes and sources may be invented.

Take responsibility

Responsibility for a result lies with the person who uses it.

Understand intentions

AI only recognises context, mood and unspoken goals to a limited extent.

Give legal advice

An AI does not replace legal advice. It can give guidance, but no binding information.

Be up to date

Without search, models only know their training data.

Be neutral

Biased training data leads to biased results.

Who is liable?#

As a rule, whoever uses the system is responsible. More on the AI regulation page.
