5. AI Limitations and Important Disclosures
5.1 AI Outputs May Be Inaccurate. AI Systems can produce text, recommendations, and analysis that is incorrect, outdated, biased, or fabricated. This is a known characteristic of AI technology. You should not rely on AI Output without independent review and verification.
5.2 Hallucinations. Large language models may generate responses that appear plausible but are factually incorrect or fabricated ("hallucinations"). Always verify AI-generated factual claims before using them in job applications or professional communications.
5.3 No ATS Performance Guarantee. While our ATS Resume Scanner provides optimization suggestions based on available information, we cannot guarantee that your resume will achieve any specific score, pass rate, or outcome on any particular employer ATS system. ATS systems vary in proprietary configuration.
5.4 AI Is Not a Career Counselor. The AI Career Coach and career recommendations are informational tools. They do not constitute licensed career counseling, professional advice, or any professional service regulated by applicable law.
5.5 Bias Awareness. AI models may reflect biases present in training data. TheSHFTApp takes steps to identify and mitigate bias through our Responsible AI practices, but we cannot guarantee that AI Outputs are free from all forms of bias.
5.6 Third-Party AI Models. AI Outputs generated using third-party model providers are subject to those providers' capabilities and limitations. TheSHFTApp is not responsible for the accuracy or completeness of outputs from third-party models.
5.7 AI Is Assistive, Not Authoritative. AI features are designed to assist and augment your career activities, not to serve as the sole basis for career decisions. You retain full responsibility for reviewing, approving, and taking ownership of materials generated with AI assistance.
