information from trustworthy sources. It is the users’ responsibility to inform the government
entity about any errors, biases, or inappropriate content generated with generative artificial in-
telligence tools. Furthermore, staying informed about the latest developments in the capabilities
and limitations of generative artificial intelligence tools is crucial for making informed judgments.
