“The Services use artificial-intelligence technology. As part of providing the Services, Personal Data may be processed, in whole or in part, by AI systems. Where AI21 acts as a controller (for example, for individual-developer accounts or for our own operational data), we process inputs and outputs to deliver and operate the Services, to return the outputs you request, to maintain security and prevent abuse, to provide support, and to maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the Services. Consistent with our Terms of Service, and unless otherwise agreed in writing or required to provide the Services, we do not use your inputs or outputs to train AI21’s foundational or generally available AI models. Because AI output is probabilistic and may be inaccurate or not unique across users, you are responsible for reviewing outputs before relying on them, and AI21 is not responsible for decisions you make based on outputs. Where AI21 processes inputs and outputs as a processor on behalf of a business customer, that processing is governed by our agreement with the customer and not by this Policy.”
