AI Transparency & Disclosure

1. AI-Assisted Lesson Content

Vocabulary definitions, grammar explanations, verse translations, and learning mnemonics in KitsuBeat are generated by the Claude AI model, developed by Anthropic. This content is produced automatically using AI and has been reviewed for quality, but it may still contain inaccuracies, especially for:

• Idiomatic expressions and colloquial usage
• Regional dialect variations
• Nuanced grammatical edge cases
• Song lyrics that are deliberately ambiguous or poetic

We recommend verifying important language information with authoritative reference materials such as dictionaries or a qualified Japanese language teacher.

2. AI-Generated Transcriptions (WhisperX)

Song transcriptions on KitsuBeat are generated by WhisperX, an AI speech-recognition model. These are not human transcriptions. WhisperX processes the audio of each song to produce time-stamped lyrics.

AI transcriptions may contain errors, particularly for:

• Non-standard pronunciation or heavy vocal effects
• Fast-paced rap or spoken-word sections
• Background noise or complex musical arrangements
• Dialect vocabulary not well represented in training data

Where available, we supplement or correct WhisperX output with time-stamped lyrics from LRCLIB, a public-domain lyrics index.

3. Machine-Readable Disclosure

In compliance with emerging AI transparency best practices, AI-generated content in KitsuBeat is marked with the HTML attribute data-ai-generated="true" on the relevant components. This allows:

• Screen readers and assistive technologies to identify AI-generated content
• Browser extensions and accessibility tools to annotate AI content
• Programmatic access for researchers or auditors to identify AI-generated material

4. Anthropic Claude

The lesson content AI system is Claude, developed by Anthropic. Anthropic is an AI safety company. KitsuBeat’s use of Claude is governed by Anthropic’s Usage Policies.

Lesson content is generated offline during content preparation — your personal learning data and activity are not sent to Anthropic at runtime.

5. User Control

KitsuBeat clearly labels AI-generated content so you can distinguish it from human-authored material:

• Lesson panels show an “AI-assisted” label on vocabulary definitions, grammar explanations, and translations
• Transcription panels indicate when lyrics are AI-generated by WhisperX

No AI system makes decisions about your account, access, or progress that have legal or similarly significant effects. All content recommendations are based on your own spaced-repetition review data.
