You or your organization are responsible for the accuracy and appropriateness of that information. Disclosure: If model outputs are presented directly to individuals or consumers , you must disclose to them that you are using AI to help produce your advice, decisions, or recommendations. This disclosure must be provided at a minimum at the beginning of each session. “High-Risk Use Cases” include: Legal: Use cases related to legal interpretation, legal guidance, or decisions with legal implications Healthcare: Use cases related to healthcare decisions, medical diagnosis, patient care, therapy, mental health, or other medical guidance. Wellness advice (e.g., advice on sleep, stress, nutrition, exercise, etc.) does not fall under this category Insurance: Use cases related to health, life, property, disability, or other types of insurance underwriting, claims processing, or coverage decisions Finance: Use cases related to financial decisions, including investment advice, loan approvals, and determining financial eligibility or"
