5.8 Accuracy. Use of the AI Services may result in inaccurate Output. The Output may not reflect correct, current, or complete information even if they appear accurate because of their level of detail or specificity.

Provide appropriate notice to Your users about the limitations of any AI features being used, including, but not limited to, that users should not rely on factual assertions in Outputs without independently fact checking their accuracy and that users may be exposed to content they may find offensive, inappropriate, objectionable, biased, discriminatory, or harmful and should not propagate such content.
