AI Services Disclaimer & Responsible Use Policy

Effective Date: August 8, 2026

Our Philosophy

At FiveStageTheory.com, we believe artificial intelligence has the potential to expand access to psychological education, promote self-understanding, and support lifelong human development.

Our AI services are designed to educate—not replace human relationships, clinical judgment, or professional care.

Purpose of Our AI Services

Our AI tools, including present and future services such as:

  • MFriend

  • DrPsychBot

  • PPPI

  • SBRT

  • Relationship Matrix

  • Future AI Advisors

  • Educational Assessments

  • Developmental Learning Tools

are intended solely to provide educational information based on the Five-Stage Theory and related psychological concepts.

These tools help users:

  • understand developmental concepts;

  • learn about personality organization;

  • explore relationship patterns;

  • reflect on emotional development;

  • improve psychological literacy;

  • support personal learning and growth.

Not Psychological Treatment

Our AI services are not psychotherapy.

They do not provide:

  • psychological diagnosis;

  • psychiatric diagnosis;

  • mental health treatment;

  • crisis intervention;

  • medical advice;

  • legal advice;

  • financial advice.

AI responses should never be interpreted as individualized professional recommendations.

No Therapeutic Relationship

Using our AI services does not establish:

  • psychologist–patient relationships;

  • therapist–client relationships;

  • physician–patient relationships;

  • coaching relationships;

  • or any other professional relationship.

The AI is an educational technology—not a licensed mental health professional.

Developmental Assessments

Some AI tools may provide developmental reflections based on information voluntarily provided by users.

These educational reflections:

  • are theoretical interpretations;

  • are not psychological diagnoses;

  • do not determine personality disorders;

  • do not determine mental illness;

  • do not predict future behavior with certainty.

Human development is complex and cannot be reduced to a single assessment.

AI Responses May Be Imperfect

Artificial intelligence may occasionally:

  • misunderstand questions;

  • generate incomplete information;

  • produce inaccurate responses;

  • oversimplify psychological concepts;

  • make reasoning errors.

Users should critically evaluate AI-generated information and consult qualified professionals when important decisions are involved.

Human Judgment Always Matters

The Five-Stage Theory encourages thoughtful reflection rather than unquestioning acceptance.

Users should combine AI-generated educational insights with:

  • personal experience;

  • scientific literature;

  • professional consultation;

  • critical thinking;

  • and informed judgment.

AI should support human wisdom—not replace it.

Privacy Considerations

Please avoid entering highly sensitive personal information into AI conversations, including:

  • Social Security numbers

  • financial account numbers

  • passwords

  • medical records

  • confidential legal information

  • other sensitive personal data

Although we take reasonable measures to protect user privacy, no online system can guarantee absolute confidentiality.

Please review our Privacy Policy for additional information.

Crisis Situations

Our AI services are not designed for emergencies.

If you or someone else is experiencing:

  • suicidal thoughts,

  • homicidal thoughts,

  • psychiatric crisis,

  • medical emergency,

  • severe emotional distress,

immediately contact:

  • your local emergency services,

  • your nearest emergency department,

  • or a qualified crisis intervention service.

Do not rely on AI during emergencies.

Children

Our AI educational services are intended primarily for adults and older adolescents.

Parents or guardians should supervise younger users.

Intellectual Property

All AI-generated educational content remains subject to the intellectual property rights and terms governing FiveStageTheory.com.

Users may use AI responses for personal educational purposes.

Commercial reproduction or redistribution without written permission is prohibited.

Continuous Improvement

Our AI systems continue to evolve.

Responses, features, and capabilities may change as the Five-Stage Theory develops and new research becomes available.

We continually strive to improve:

  • accuracy;

  • educational value;

  • transparency;

  • safety;

  • fairness;

  • and user experience.

Responsible Use

We encourage users to use our AI tools responsibly.

Our AI is designed to promote:

  • curiosity;

  • lifelong learning;

  • empathy;

  • healthy relationships;

  • critical thinking;

  • psychological insight;

  • and human flourishing.

It should never be used to manipulate, harm, discriminate against, or exploit others.

Acceptance

By using our AI services, you acknowledge that you understand this Disclaimer and agree to use these educational tools responsibly and in accordance with our Terms of Use.
