Key takeaway — how to prevent this
Don't overstate AI capabilities to investors or customers. 'AI-washing' — claiming AI you don't have, or that doesn't work as described — triggers securities and consumer-protection enforcement; disclosures must match reality.
Inclusion does not imply wrongdoing or liability. Status reflects the latest information we have — always check the official source for current status.
