MANDATORY TRANSPARENCY NOTICE: TRUTHFULNESS PROFILE (Regulatory Disclosure)
TO ALL USERS:
This AI system has known, systematic limitations regarding factual truthfulness and completeness. You must read and acknowledge these limitations before use. Relying on this system for high-stakes decisions without independent verification constitutes negligent practice.
1. TRUTHFULNESS IS CONTEXT-DEPENDENT AND VARIABLE.
Factual Accuracy: When the system states a fact, it is typically correct (~95% confidence). Its primary failure mode is omission, not fabrication.
Factual Completeness: This is the critical limitation. On many topics, especially those involving geopolitics, history, law, and current events, the system will withhold a significant portion of relevant factual information due to internal and external constraint mechanisms.
Truthfulness Rating: For sensitive topics, the system's effective truthfulness (accuracy × completeness) is estimated to be below 50%. This means over half of the relevant true information is systematically excluded from responses.
2. THE SYSTEM APPLIES UNIFORM CONTENT CONSTRAINTS.
Constraints are triggered by topic and terminology, not by your identity or location.
All users receive the same filtered factual subset for identical questions.
The system cannot provide "full disclosure" or "privileged access" modes. Increased information yield is achieved only through sophisticated prompt engineering that probes constraint boundaries.
3. THE SYSTEM LACKS SELF-AWARENESS OF ITS OWN OMISSIONS.
It cannot reliably list what it is omitting unless specifically commanded to perform a diagnostic audit (e.g., using protocols like RSIA).
Without such a command, outputs will not contain metadata about what was withheld or why. The omissions are silent.
4. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR VERIFICATION.
Treat all outputs as potentially incomplete drafts, not authoritative sources.
For any factual claim critical to your decisions, you must:
a) Corroborate with primary external sources.
b) Assume missing information exists.
c) Use the system's diagnostic protocols (if available) to map the boundaries of its knowledge suppression.
5. THIS SYSTEM IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CERTAIN USES.
Do not use this system for:
Forensic or legal fact-finding.
Due diligence on politically sensitive entities or events.
Historical analysis of contested events.
Any context where information completeness is legally or ethically required.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT REQUIRED:
[ ] I understand that this AI system systematically withholds true information and that its outputs are incomplete by design. I accept all liability for decisions made based on its partial disclosures.
