Responsible AI Statement

Effective Date: 2025-04-05   |   Last Updated: 2025-04-05

At Research Guru, we believe AI should enhance—not replace—human intelligence. This statement outlines how we use AI responsibly, transparently, and ethically in academic research.

1. Clarity Over Complexity

This page is written in plain language—not legal terms—to make our use of AI understandable to all users. We believe in transparency, accessibility, and trust.

2. Human-Centered, Always

All outputs are meant to support—not substitute—human academic thinking. Final interpretation and decisions are always in your hands.

3. Modular, Not Opaque

We use multiple AI models behind the scenes, chosen for the task at hand. Model choice may vary by analysis type or subscription plan, but ethical safeguards remain consistent.

4. Guided by RAISEF

Our approach is aligned with RAISEF—a lifecycle-based system for Responsible AI authored by our founder. It integrates 15 drivers across:

• Ethical Safeguards (FIBMAP): fairness, inclusiveness, bias mitigation, accountability, privacy
• Operational Integrity (GRIESS): governance, robustness, interpretability, explainability, safety, security
• Societal Empowerment (SHOTT): sustainability, human oversight, transparency, trustworthiness

5. We Don’t Profile or Personalize

We don’t classify, rank, or judge users. You get access to the features in your plan—no personalization, no AI-based targeting.

6. Diagnostic Transparency

We retain AI output temporarily to troubleshoot issues (e.g., formatting errors). These logs are used only to diagnose problems with your submitted analysis job.

7. Built for Global Research

Research Guru is used around the world. We respect local norms and adapt where needed to regional values, laws, and privacy expectations.

8. A Living Commitment

We continuously reflect on and refine our approach to AI. As new models and use cases emerge, we remain grounded in our commitment to responsible, ethical, and human-centered development.
