When used, any AI Features are considered part of the “Services” governed by the Terms.
- Description and Transparency
2.1. How AI Features Operate: When Customer accesses or uses AI Features, it will process Data using a machine-based system(s) designed to operate with varying levels of autonomy and that may exhibit adaptiveness after deployment, and that, for explicit or implicit objectives, infers from the input it receives how to generate outputs such as predictions, content, recommendations, or decisions that can influence physical or virtual environments (“AI System”) to deliver automated results such as predictions, recommendations, content generation, analytics, or other outputs (“AI Outputs”). Where required by law, Company will, upon written request, provide a general description of the AI Features’ functionality and the general logic used by its algorithms (without disclosing proprietary algorithms or trade secrets). This information is provided to help Customer meet any legal obligations it has to inform users about AI use in the Services.
2.2. Notification of AI Use: Company will clearly indicate within the Services which features are AI System powered (for example, through labels or documentation). Customer is responsible for informing its authorized users (and any other individuals to whom the use of the Services impacts) that AI Features are in use whenever such disclosure is required by law or is necessary for fairness and transparency.
