Terms of Use

Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using the Manitoba AI Disruption Explorer at mb-ai-disruption.vercel.app (the “Site”), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

Informational and exploratory purposes only

All content on this Site is provided for general informational and exploratory purposes only. Risk scores, disruption timelines, and sector assessments are modelled estimates derived from published academic research. They are intended to stimulate thinking and awareness — not to serve as authoritative, definitive, or actionable guidance.

Nothing on this Site constitutes employment advice, legal advice, financial advice, investment advice, or professional advice of any kind. Do not make employment, business, or policy decisions based solely on information from this Site.

About the scores

Composite risk scores are derived from three peer-reviewed datasets (Frey & Osborne 2013, Felten-Raj-Seamans 2021, Eloundou et al. 2023) combined with Statistics Canada sector data. These scores measure relative AI disruption exposure — not certainty of job loss, business failure, or any specific outcome.

The Cost Curve projections and disruption timelines on the calculator results page are illustrative scenarios based on sector parameters and published AI adoption research. They are not empirical forecasts and should not be interpreted as predictions.

Data sources and licences

This Site uses publicly available datasets from Statistics Canada (Statistics Canada Open Licence), peer-reviewed academic publications, and open-source research repositories. Attribution is provided on the About & Methodology page.

Statistics Canada data is reproduced and distributed on an “as is” basis with the permission of Statistics Canada. Users are forbidden to copy the data and redisseminate it in an original or modified form for commercial purposes without the prior written permission of Statistics Canada.

Permitted use

You may use the Site for lawful purposes including research, education, journalism, and general awareness. You may not:

• Use automated scrapers or bots to overload the Site's infrastructure
• Represent Site outputs as official government, Statistics Canada, or academic findings
• Use the Site in any manner that violates applicable Canadian law
• Remove or obscure attribution notices when republishing derived material

No warranty

The Site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, or non-infringement. The operator does not guarantee that the Site will be error-free, uninterrupted, or free of harmful components.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Scott Hazlitt shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Site or its content — even if advised of the possibility of such damages. This includes, without limitation, any reliance placed on the accuracy or completeness of the scores or projections displayed.

Governing law

These Terms of Use are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Manitoba and the applicable federal laws of Canada, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Manitoba.

Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of the Site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
