— Additional Use Case Guidelines: Apply to certain other use cases, including consumer-facing chatbots, products serving minors, and agentic use.

MacroDeep will implement detection and monitoring to enforce our Usage Policy, so please review this policy carefully before using our products or services. If we learn that you have violated our Usage Policy, we may throttle, suspend, or terminate your access to our products and services. We may also block or modify model outputs when inputs violate our Usage Policy.

High-Risk Use Case Requirements

Some use cases pose an elevated risk of harm because they influence domains that are vital to public welfare and social equity. For these use cases, given potential risks to individuals and consumers, we believe that relevant human expertise should be integrated and that end-users should be aware when AI has been involved in producing outputs.

For the "High-Risk Use Cases" described below, we require that you implement these additional safety measures:

— Human-in-the-loop: When using our products or services to provide advice, recommendations, or in subjective decision-making directly affecting individuals or consumers, a qualified professional in that field must review the content or decision prior to dissemination or finalization. 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
— 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 creditworthiness
— Employment and housing: Use cases related to decisions about the employability of individuals, resume screening, hiring tools, or decisions regarding eligibility for housing
— Academic testing, accreditation, and admissions: Use cases related to standardized testing, school admissions evaluations, language proficiency, or professional certification exams
— Media or professional journalistic content: Use cases related to automatically generating content for external publication

Additional Use Case Guidelines

The below use cases — regardless of whether they are High-Risk Use Cases — must comply with the additional guidance provided.

— All consumer-facing chatbots, including any external-facing or interactive AI agent, must disclose to users that they are interacting with AI rather than a human. This disclosure must be provided at a minimum at the beginning of each chat session.

— Products serving minors, including organizations providing minors with the ability to directly interact with products that incorporate our APIs, must comply with additional child-safety guidelines available upon request.

— Agentic use cases must still comply with this Usage Policy in full. Agentic systems that take actions on behalf of users are held to the same standards as direct user interactions.
