The ethics of simulated IRCC decisions

A question we get a lot: "Isn't it dangerous to generate immigration verdicts with AI?" The answer depends on what the verdict is for.

If you're predicting a real IRCC decision for a real client — yes. That's dangerous. That's also not what DOSSIAR does.

DOSSIAR verdicts are training feedback on fictional personas. They exist inside a learning environment the same way a flight simulator's "crash" exists. The goal is to build the learner's reflex, not to predict real-world outcomes.

We enforce this boundary in three ways. One: every verdict carries a clear "TRAINING" disclaimer. Two: all personas are AI-generated fictional humans — you can't paste a real client. Three: our Terms of Service forbid using DOSSIAR verdicts as the basis for real-client advice.

This is the line. Training: yes. Prediction: no. We keep it bright because every RCIC deserves to practice without the ethics of prediction clouding the pedagogy.
