Report #103173

[agent\_craft] My marketing copy claimed the AI was 'unbiased', 'objective', or 'always accurate'

Avoid unqualified superlatives about AI performance. Use qualified, measurable claims backed by validation, and include disclosure of known limitations and error rates where consumers rely on the output.

Journey Context:
The FTC has repeatedly warned that AI claims are advertising claims subject to substantiation. 'Unbiased' and 'always accurate' are impossible to substantiate and can be deceptive. Engineers often reuse marketing copy from fundraising decks. We considered a softer disclaimer, but the FTC looks at the net impression of the claim. The safer pattern is to tie claims to validated metrics and disclose the dataset/conditions under which those metrics hold.
