Industry-Specific Considerations
Healthcare
We are not HIPAA-compliant. If you operate in healthcare, consult legal advisors before using AI for health-related advice and implement appropriate disclaimers.
Financial Services
Ensure AI disclaimers clarify content is not licensed financial advice (if applicable). Review compliance with SEC, FINRA, or equivalent regulations.
Legal Services
AI-generated content should not be considered legal advice without attorney review. Consider attorney-client privilege implications and bar association guidelines.
Education
Consider student privacy laws (FERPA, COPPA), ensure content accuracy and age-appropriateness, and provide academic integrity guidelines.
