AI Disclaimer

Last updated: April 17, 2026

AI Engines and its instructors are not attorneys. Nothing taught in our workshops or posted on this site is legal advice.

For AI use in legal practice, HR, healthcare, education records, financial services, or any other regulated environment, have your implementation vetted by qualified counsel before deployment. The HUMAN-HEART framework names the regulatory and legal floor as the ceiling on AI use for a reason: your laws, regulations, and policies set the upper bound on what any AI workflow can do in your context.

What we teach is educational

Workshops, consulting engagements, and samples on this site are intended to build AI literacy and help you design workflows that respect your obligations. They are not a substitute for advice from licensed professionals familiar with your specific situation.

Regulated environments we flag explicitly

  • Education: FERPA, state student privacy laws, district AI-use policy, institutional academic integrity standards.
  • Healthcare: HIPAA, state health privacy laws.
  • Legal practice: state bar rules, attorney-client privilege, work product protections.
  • Financial services: GLBA, sector-specific rules.
  • Work involving vulnerable populations: DCS and state protective regulations, mandatory reporter duties.
  • Pastoral and ministry contexts: pastoral confidentiality, clergy reporting duties where they apply.

What we use in the workshops

Our workshops are taught using the free Claude tier. That tier is appropriate for learning, practice, and personal use. It is not appropriate for entering or processing:

  • Student records (FERPA-protected information)
  • Patient information (HIPAA-protected data, PHI)
  • PII you do not have explicit permission to share
  • Donor records, financial records, or anything covered by your sector's rules
  • Any data covered by an existing confidentiality, IP, or vendor agreement

Workshop participants build with clean, hypothetical, or anonymized data. We point out the limits clearly during the day, but we cannot guarantee that participants will follow them once they leave the room. That responsibility is yours.

If your organization has signed an enterprise AI agreement with Anthropic or a comparable approved vendor, real data entry may be permitted through that approved tool. That call belongs to your IT, compliance, or counsel, not to us. Until that contract exists, treat free Claude as a learning environment, not a production system for regulated work.

Your accountability

You remain accountable for how AI is used in your context. We help you think about it rigorously and recognize the floor your work already sits inside. We do not set that floor, and we do not guarantee that workshop participants will respect every rule once they return to their organizations. Your licensed counsel makes the final call before deployment.
