# Generative AI

## Best practices

**Design your experience responsibly.**

**Keep people in control.**

**Ensure an inclusive experience for all.**

**Design engaging and useful generative features.**

**Ensure a great experience even when generative features aren’t available or people opt not to use them.**

## Transparency

**Communicate where your app uses AI.**

**Set clear expectations about what your AI-powered feature can and can’t do.**

## Privacy

**Prefer on-device processing.**

**Ask permission before using personal information and usage data.**

**Clearly disclose how your app and its model use and store personal information.**

## Models and datasets

**Thoughtfully evaluate model capabilities.**

**Be intentional when choosing or creating a dataset.**

## Inputs

**Guide people on how to use your generative feature.**

**Raise awareness about and minimize the chance of hallucinations.**

**Consider consequences and get permission before performing destructive or potentially problematic tasks.**

## Outputs

**Help people improve requests when blocked or undesirable results occur.**

**Reduce unexpected and harmful outcomes with thoughtful design and thorough testing.**

**Strive to avoid replicating copyrighted content.**

**Factor processing time into your design.**

**Consider offering alternate versions of results.**

## Continuous improvement

**Consider ways to improve your model over time.**

**Let people share feedback on outputs.**

**Design flexible, adaptable features.**
