Use of Pega GenAI.

Pega GenAI utilizes prompts inputted by an end user. To use Pega GenAI, You must ensure prompts are appropriate and do not violate this Acceptable Use Policy or applicable agreement between you and Pega. You shall not, and shall ensure end users do not, override any protections put in place by Pegasystems.
If You use Pega GenAI Connect to build custom functionality. You shall provide sufficient detail of such custom functionality to Pegasystems upon request to Pegasystems. If Pegasystems determines that such custom functionality is not an appropriate use of Pega GenAI, then You shall alter or no longer use such custom functionality. Pegasystems may limit or turn off access to Pega GenAI for any non-appropriate use in Pegasystems’ discretion.
You shall be responsible for any use of Generative AI by You if such use involves an API key to access such Generative AI obtained by You.

Additional GenAI requirements include:

Responsible AI Requirements. If you use the GenAI or machine learning Services to make consequential decisions, you must evaluate the potential risks of your use case and implement appropriate human oversight, testing, and other use case-speciﬁc safeguards to mitigate such risks. Consequential decisions include, but are not limited to, those impacting a person’s fundamental rights, health, or safety (e.g., medical diagnosis, judicial proceedings, access to critical beneﬁts like housing or government beneﬁts, opportunities like education, decisions to hire or terminate employees, or access to lending/credit, and providing legal, ﬁnancial, or medical advice). (“AI/ML Services”) and compliance with this AUP upon request.
You and your end users are responsible for all decisions made, advice given, actions taken, and failures to take action based on your use of AI/ML Services. AI/ML Services use machine learning models that generate predictions based on patterns in data. Output generated by a machine learning model is probabilistic, and generative AI may produce inaccurate or inappropriate content. Outputs should be evaluated for accuracy and appropriateness for your use case.

Pega has the right to investigate suspected violations of this AUP. In addition, Pega has the right to report suspected violations of this AUP to applicable law-enforcement authorities or third parties, and to cooperate with any investigation of illegal activities associated with use of these services, the systems or networks, or any violation of this AUP.
