Description of the Services
Anecdote provides an application with the objective to simplify the collection and understanding of customers for businesses.

Limitation and risks using AI
The product produces and displays AI generated content and the User should be aware of the limitations and risks associated with an open-ended machine learning algorithm. Anecdote uses third party machine learning technology to summarise, tag and search. More specifically:
- To summarise one or multiple pieces of internal/external user feedback and/or reviews.
- To extract one or multiple insights of internal/external user feedback and/or reviews
- To improve search results by using semantic search to retrieve and display one or multiple pieces of internal/external user feedback and/or reviews.
Known risks with using an open-ended machine learning algorithm includes but are not limited to:
- Machine learning components can only be expected to provide reasonable outputs when given inputs similar to the ones present in the training data. Even if an ML system is considered safe when operated under conditions similar to training data, human operators can provide unfamiliar inputs that put the system into an unsafe state, and it is often not obvious to an operator what inputs will or won’t lead to unsafe behavior
- Machine learning components are biased. ML components reflect the values and biases present in the training data, as well as those of their developers. Systems using ML components—especially systems that interact with people in open-ended ways—can perpetuate or amplify those values.
- Safety is a moving target for ML systems. The safety characteristics of ML systems change every time the ML components are updated, for example if they are retrained with new data, or if new components are trained from scratch with novel architectures.
Anecdote cannot guarantee full safety and/or unbiased results and the User is requested to report any offensive, biased or similarly harmful machine learning generated results directly to the Company. Anecdote will take appropriate action to remove any harmful content and provide feedback to relevant service providers.
