6. AI-Generated Content

6.1. Our platform uses artificial intelligence systems to generate educational content, including AI Mentor responses, market event analysis, trade debrief feedback, and quiz questions.

6.2. AI-generated content is produced algorithmically and is not reviewed by a human financial adviser. While we strive for accuracy and educational value:

• AI systems may produce errors, outdated information, or content that does not reflect current market conditions
• AI-generated educational responses should not be treated as personalised financial advice
• AI systems may hallucinate or present information that appears authoritative but is inaccurate
• AI analysis of market scenarios is hypothetical and educational - it does not predict future market movements

6.3. You should independently verify any information provided by AI systems before making any financial decisions.

• They are designed with the benefit of hindsight and do not reflect actual trading
• They do not account for real-world factors such as slippage, liquidity constraints, emotional decision-making, and evolving market conditions
• No representation is made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown
• The results of backtested strategies may differ materially from results achieved in live trading
