Disclaimer

This site makes a lot of specific claims about what artificial intelligence can and cannot do, cites regulation with dates attached, and rates the maturity of techniques. That specificity is the point. It also means this page has real work to do, because specific claims age, and none of them are advice about your situation.

The short version

How to read this website

Six positions that decide what our published claims do and do not mean.

01

Nothing here is professional advice

Not legal, not regulatory, not financial, not medical, not tax. Reading this site creates no adviser relationship and no duty of care towards your particular decision.

02

Claims are true as at the date written

Artificial intelligence moves quickly. A statement about what a technique can do, or what a regulator requires, may be out of date by the time you read it.

03

Maturity ratings are our judgement

Where we rate a technique as proven, emerging or immature, that is an informed opinion formed from our own delivery experience. It is not a measured standard.

04

Numbers come with conditions

Any figure we publish reflects the conditions under which it was produced. Your data, your process and your constraints will produce different numbers.

05

No result is guaranteed

Nothing on this site promises an outcome, a percentage improvement, a timeline or a return. Case descriptions are illustrative and are not predictions about your project.

06

Other companies' names are descriptive

Where we name a platform, model or vendor, it is because describing the work honestly requires it. It implies no partnership, certification or endorsement.

Why this page is longer than a template would be

Most disclaimers exist to cover a site that says nothing specific enough to be wrong. This site names techniques, rates their maturity, cites regulation with dates and states where an approach fails. A page willing to be that specific owes the reader an honest account of what those statements are worth, which is why this one names the limits rather than hiding behind a paragraph.

This disclaimer forms part of our terms of use and applies to everything published on www.ispark.biz. It is written in plain language because a disclaimer nobody can read is not much of a disclaimer.

In one paragraph

Everything on this website is general information about artificial intelligence engineering, published to help someone decide whether a project is worth commissioning. It is not advice about your organisation, your data or your regulatory position, and it is not a substitute for a qualified professional who knows your circumstances. Claims reflect our judgement at the time of writing, they carry the conditions stated alongside them, and no outcome is guaranteed.

This is information, not professional advice

The pages on this site describe techniques, regulatory obligations, industry practice and engineering approaches. They are written to be genuinely useful rather than merely promotional, which means they sometimes go into more detail than a marketing page would. That does not turn them into advice.

In particular, nothing on this site is:

  • Legal or regulatory advice. Where we describe the EU AI Act, data protection law, sectoral rules or compliance obligations, we are summarising our understanding for a general audience. Whether a specific obligation applies to your organisation, and what you must do about it, is a question for a qualified lawyer in the relevant jurisdiction.
  • Financial or investment advice. Nothing here is a recommendation to spend, invest, build or buy, and we are not licensed financial advisers.
  • Medical or clinical advice. Our healthcare pages describe engineering and deployment considerations. They are not clinical guidance and must not be used to inform patient care.
  • Tax, accounting, employment or safety advice.

Reading this site, or corresponding with us before an engagement exists, creates no professional relationship, no duty of care in respect of your decisions, and no reliance we have accepted. Get advice from someone who knows your circumstances before you act on anything you read here.

How to read our claims about AI

This site deliberately avoids the vagueness that makes most vendor writing useless. It names techniques, says which ones work, rates maturity, and describes failure modes. Because those claims are specific, it is worth being equally specific about what they are worth.

Maturity ratings are informed opinion

Where a page rates something as proven, emerging, immature or not ready, that is our judgement formed from delivering this kind of work. It is not a measurement, not an industry standard, and not a benchmark result. Someone with different experience might rate the same technique differently, and reasonable practitioners do disagree.

Numbers carry their conditions

Where we publish a figure, we try to state the conditions that produced it. Those conditions matter more than the number. Accuracy, latency, cost and error rates depend on the dataset, the task definition, the evaluation method and the deployment environment. A figure achieved on one problem tells you very little about what you would achieve on yours.

Regulatory dates move

Compliance timelines, including those under the EU AI Act, have been amended before and may be amended again. Where this site states a date or a requirement, check it against the primary source before you plan around it. We update pages when we notice changes, but we cannot promise that every page is current on the day you read it.

Third party tools change without telling us

Model capabilities, pricing, licensing and availability change frequently and without notice. A statement about what a particular model or platform does was accurate when written and may not be now.

Worth knowing

Where you should not rely on us at all

If a decision turns on a precise regulatory obligation, a licence term, a clinical protocol or a financial exposure, treat this site as a starting point for a conversation with a qualified professional, not as an answer. We would tell you the same thing on a call.

No guarantee of results

Nothing on this site promises an outcome. Where a page describes what a type of system typically achieves, or what an engagement usually produces, it is describing patterns rather than forecasting your result.

  • Project outcomes depend on your data. The single largest determinant of whether an AI project works is the quality, completeness and consistency of the data behind the process. We cannot assess that from a web page and neither can you.
  • Timelines are indicative. Engagement lengths quoted anywhere on this site describe typical shapes of work, not commitments.
  • Illustrative examples are not case studies. Where a page describes a scenario, it is written to explain a concept. It is not a claim about a specific named client or a promise that you would see the same result.
  • Past patterns do not predict your project. Two organisations in the same industry with apparently similar problems routinely need different solutions and get different results.

Any commitment about scope, timeline, cost or performance exists only in a signed engagement agreement, and even there it is expressed against defined conditions and an agreed evaluation method.

This site names cloud platforms, model providers, open source projects, regulators, standards bodies and commercial tools. Sometimes it recommends buying one of them instead of commissioning us, which is deliberate.

All such names, logos and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners. They appear here descriptively, so that a reader can tell what we are actually talking about. Their appearance does not indicate partnership, certification, reseller status, endorsement by them of us, or endorsement by us of them, unless a page states that relationship in plain words.

External links are provided because a claim with a source behind it is worth more than one without. We do not control linked sites, we are not responsible for their content, accuracy or privacy practices, and a link is not an endorsement. Links may break or point somewhere different over time.

About content produced with AI assistance

We would rather say this plainly than leave it for someone to discover. iSpark is an AI engineering firm, we use AI tools in our own work every day, and some of the written content on this site was produced with AI assistance as part of the drafting process.

What that does not change is responsibility. Every factual claim, maturity rating and recommendation published here is ours, reviewed by us, and stands or falls on our judgement. If something on this site is wrong, that is our error and not a tool's, and we would like to hear about it at hello@ispark.biz.

It also does not change the limits described on this page. Content produced with AI assistance is subject to exactly the same caveats as everything else here: it is general information, it reflects a point in time, and it is not advice about your situation.

Limitation and contact

To the fullest extent permitted by law, iSpark accepts no liability for loss or damage arising from reliance on anything published on this website. The limitation of liability set out in our terms of use applies to this disclaimer and should be read alongside it.

If you believe something on this site is inaccurate, out of date or misleading, tell us at hello@ispark.biz. We correct things, and we would rather hear it from you than leave it wrong. Corrections of substance are made to the page rather than buried in a note.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Marked up with FAQPage schema so these answers can surface directly in search results and inside AI assistant responses.

Is anything on iSpark.biz legal or compliance advice?

No. Where this site describes the EU AI Act, data protection law or sectoral obligations, it is summarising our general understanding for a general audience. Whether a specific obligation applies to your organisation is a question for a qualified lawyer in the relevant jurisdiction. Reading this site creates no adviser relationship and no duty of care in respect of your decisions.

How should I read the maturity ratings on your service pages?

As informed opinion, not measurement. Where a page rates a technique as proven, emerging or immature, that is our judgement formed from delivering this kind of work. It is not an industry standard or a benchmark result, and practitioners with different experience reasonably disagree. Treat a rating as a starting point for a conversation.

Does iSpark guarantee the results described on this site?

No. Nothing here promises an outcome, a percentage improvement, a timeline or a return. The largest determinant of whether an AI project succeeds is the quality of the data behind the process, which cannot be assessed from a web page. Commitments exist only in a signed engagement agreement, against defined conditions and an agreed evaluation method.

Why do you name other companies' products and tools?

Because describing the work honestly requires it, and because several pages recommend buying an existing product rather than commissioning a custom build. Those names and trademarks belong to their owners, appear here descriptively, and imply no partnership, certification or endorsement in either direction unless a page says so plainly.

Is the content on this site written by AI?

Some of it was produced with AI assistance during drafting, which we would rather state than have someone discover. Responsibility does not change: every factual claim, maturity rating and recommendation is ours, reviewed by us, and subject to the same caveats as the rest of the site. If something is wrong, it is our error, and hello@ispark.biz is where to tell us.

Still have a question?

If anything on this page is unclear, or your procurement team needs it phrased differently, write to us. A person will answer, and if the honest answer is that you should ask a lawyer rather than us, we will say that too.
