PREAMBLE

The PLATFORM is a collection of cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence powered web services, applications and resources engineered and developed by The PROVIDER. It is The PROVIDER's goal to provide equal opportunity for everyone to use The PLATFORM, and AI in general, within reason. It is the responsibility of everyone(especially The CONSUMERs) to keep The PLATFORM clean and safe. By implementing the Terms and Conditions contained herein, The PROVIDER aims to make Artificial Intelligence equitable, affordable, safe and accessible for everyone, regardless of their circumstances.

The PLATFORM, and AI technology in general, are very powerful and transformative tools, that must be used and developed with extreme caution. In the wrong hands, Artificial Intelligence tools like The PLATFORM, can be used to inflict great harm. The terms and conditions contained herein are not meant to be restrictive, or to give The PROVIDER some kind of advantage, but are a necessary and responsible safety mechanism that helps to ensure that The PLATFORM will only be used in ways that benefit the greater good.

By using The PLATFORM responsibly and following the rules, The CONSUMERs collectively enable The PROVIDER to identify opportunities to improve and responsibly develop and mature The PLATFORM, and it's underlying AI, in a way that accomplishes The PROVIDER's good intentioned goals. We hope you will join us, and help to responsibly grow and develop The PLATFORM, and it's underlying AI to be a powerful and beneficial tool for all of human-kind.
