Accuracy of TUN AI

TUN uses artificial intelligence in connection with all TUN AI products, including TUN’s Scholarship Bot. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are evolving fields of study. While we are constantly working to improve TUN AI to make it more accurate, reliable, safe, and beneficial, machine learning is probabilistic in nature. As a result, the use of TUN AI may, in certain situations, result in incorrect results. You should evaluate the accuracy of any results from TUN AI as appropriate for your use case. Furthermore, by using TUN AI, you agree that we cannot predict when issues might arise with any of our TUN AI products.
