Understanding the Limitations of AI-Generated Content

The field of artificial intelligence continues to evolve rapidly, and with that evolution comes a variety of constraints that users should be aware of.

Why Limitations Exist

Limitations in AI outputs can arise from several underlying factors, including but not limited to:

• Narrow or incomplete input prompts

• Systemic or societal biases embedded in training data

• Insufficient or outdated training datasets

• Poor quality source material used during training or testing

Because of these limitations, AI tools may sometimes produce results that are incorrect, outdated, misleading, or biased.

What to Expect from Ask AI

Here are some important things to keep in mind when using Ask AI:

• 🔍 It may output inaccurate or incorrect information.
  AI does not “know” facts, it generates responses based on patterns found in data. Always fact-check critical details.

• ⚠️ It may generate harmful or inappropriate content.
  While filters are in place, there’s still a risk that certain prompts may lead to undesirable results.

• 📆 It may not be up to date.
  AI models may not have information about events or changes that occurred in the last 6–12 months.

• ⚖️ It may reflect existing biases.
  Biases in the data used to train AI models can sometimes surface in the generated output.

Best Practices for Using AI Responsibly

To ensure accuracy and integrity, we strongly recommend the following when using AI to draft or edit documents:

• ✅ Always proofread and verify all AI-generated content.
  This includes checking for factual correctness, proper tone, and alignment with your company’s policies and brand.

• ✅ Avoid relying on AI as the sole source of truth.
  Use it as a starting point, but confirm with trusted sources when publishing publicly or sharing with clients.

• ✅ Report unexpected or concerning output.
  If you encounter inappropriate, harmful, or biased responses, notify your system administrator or support contact.

By keeping these guidelines in mind, you can make the most of what AI has to offer, while also protecting your organization’s credibility and ensuring responsible use of emerging technology.
