The Base44 platform uses generative AI tools and models that give you powerful ways to create your app. While these tools and models offer exciting possibilities, generative AI also comes with risks that you should understand. Generative AI can be an amazing resource, but the technology is not flawless. The sections below explain the main risks of using generative AI tools.

Bias and discrimination

Generative AI tools may sometimes generate content that reflects societal biases embedded in the data sources used to train the model. This can lead to unintended biases in the tools’ outputs, which may read as discrimination or the reinforcement of stereotypes within generated content. Biased outputs could inadvertently reflect gender, racial, or cultural biases, which could harm your app’s inclusivity and credibility.
AI-generated content can significantly speed up the creative process, but it may sometimes generate content that resembles copyrighted materials or trademarks of other companies. This could put you at risk of infringing on copyright and trademark laws in cases where the AI-generated content is identical or closely resembles existing protected content.

Data protection

Base44 takes your privacy seriously and wants to protect your privacy as well as the privacy of your app users. Due to the nature of generative AI models, it is possible that some generated content may include the personal information of others.

Misinformation and accuracy of AI tools

AI-generated content, while often high quality, is not guaranteed to be accurate or truthful. Sometimes these tools produce outputs that may contain misinformation or inadvertently promote false narratives. This can be especially concerning if you rely on this content to convey important information on your app, which may lead to a loss of credibility.

Recommendations for safe and responsible AI use

When you use the Base44 platform, you have an essential role in responsible AI usage. You can reduce the risks above by following these best practices:
  • Always recheck generated AI outputs to confirm that they meet your expectations, that the information is accurate, and that it reflects your intention. Approach each output with a critical eye and verify any factual information before publishing it on your app.
  • Remember that even if content is generated by AI, you are still responsible for it. Make sure that the content complies with the Base44 Responsible Use Policy.
  • Be mindful of possible biases within AI-generated content and edit as necessary to align with your values and intended purposes.
  • Avoid creating or promoting deepfake content or misinformation, as it can damage your credibility and be harmful to your app users or others.
  • Do not copy or use others’ content as part of your input without permission, as this may cause the AI tools to generate copyrighted material.
  • Avoid using AI outputs that appear too similar to existing works of art, paintings, or trademarks and logos of other companies, unless you have the right license or consent to do so.
  • Consider editing AI outputs to ensure that the final result is uniquely your own.
  • Only use personal information within your input when necessary. AI outputs are not always predictable, and you should make every effort to keep your personal information secure.
  • Don’t use others’ personal information as part of your input without consent and permission.
  • Check the output to see if it includes personal details or real individuals, and consider changing identifying details if they appear in the generated content.
  • Consider informing your app users that some content was AI-generated, to provide transparency and maintain trust.
  • When you use Base44, ensure you comply with your local and applicable laws, regulations, and policies, especially regulations related to AI technology (such as the EU AI Act).
