AI Use Disclosure

Overview

At Chos Kitchen + Bar, we believe in transparency with our guests. This disclosure explains how we use artificial intelligence (AI) tools in our marketing and communications. We want you to know when and how AI is involved in the content you see from us.

How We Use AI

Chos Kitchen + Bar may use AI-powered tools to assist with certain marketing and communications activities, including:

• Drafting and editing social media captions, posts, and promotional copy
• Generating or editing images for use in social media posts, advertisements, and promotional materials
• Assisting with email newsletter content and subject lines
• Creating or refining marketing copy for our website and digital advertising

What AI Does Not Do

To be clear about the boundaries of our AI use:

• AI does not interact directly with guests or customers on our behalf (e.g., no AI chatbots handling your inquiries)
• AI does not make decisions about food preparation, recipes, sourcing, or kitchen operations
• AI does not access, process, or make decisions about your personal information
• AI is not used to generate fake reviews, testimonials, or endorsements
• AI-generated content does not replace human judgment in our business operations

Human Oversight

All AI-generated content used by Chos Kitchen + Bar is reviewed, edited, and approved by our team before publication. AI tools serve as creative assistants, not replacements for human creativity and judgment. Our staff ensures that all content is accurate, reflects our brand, and meets our quality standards before it reaches you.

AI-Generated Images

When we use AI to generate or substantially modify images for marketing purposes, we follow these practices:

• AI-generated images are used for creative and promotional purposes only
• We do not use AI to create fake depictions of our actual food, restaurant, or staff that could mislead guests about what to expect
• We do not use AI to generate images that impersonate real people or use anyone's likeness without authorization
• When an image is entirely AI-generated (rather than a minor edit to a real photo), we will note this where practical

Truthfulness and Accuracy

Consistent with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, we are committed to ensuring that our marketing content, whether AI-assisted or not, is truthful and not misleading. Specifically:

• We do not use AI to fabricate customer reviews, testimonials, or endorsements
• All claims about our food, services, and offerings are based on factual information
• AI-generated marketing materials undergo human fact-checking before publication
• We do not use AI to make exaggerated or unsubstantiated claims about our products or services

Data and Privacy

Our use of AI marketing tools does not involve sharing your personal information with AI service providers. AI tools are used to generate content, not to process or analyze guest data. For details on how we handle your personal information, please see our Privacy Policy.

Changes to Our AI Practices

As AI technology evolves and new regulations emerge, we will update this disclosure to reflect any changes in how we use AI. When significant changes are made, we will update the Effective Date at the top of this disclosure.
