Usage Policy

AI1SAD estimates environmental and surveillance-relevant shark encounter conditions. It does not predict individual attacks or guarantee safety outcomes.

Allowed Uses

  • Public research and education using scrubbed public records.
  • Environmental and coastal-safety planning.
  • Dashboarding and analysis that preserves privacy and uncertainty.
  • Operational triage for where safety or drone teams may look first.

Prohibited Uses

  • Claiming AI1SAD predicts individual shark attacks.
  • Claiming AI1SAD guarantees beach, swimmer, diver, surfer, or vessel safety.
  • Publishing victim names, private notes, exact addresses, restricted source content, or raw source text.
  • Using scores to infer shark intent or blame/provocation.
  • Circumventing rate limits, API keys, tier limits, or access controls.
  • Reselling raw API output in a way that violates source licenses or privacy rules.

Attribution

Public users should cite AI1SAD and the underlying public data sources where appropriate. Third-party sources may have independent licensing or attribution requirements.

Operational Use
