π¨ YOUR CHATBOT JUST REWROTE YOUR REFUND POLICY π¨
THE CASE:
Air Canada chatbot hallucinates bereavement refund policy β
Customer buys ticket based on false promise β
Company refuses actual refund β
Court rules: YOU MUST HONOR WHAT YOUR AI PROMISED
THE RULING:
Moffatt v. Air Canada (2024)
Your AI = Your legally binding employee
THE $67.4B PROBLEM:
LLMs are probability calculators, not fact databases.
Hallucination rates: 0.7%β25% even in best models
REAL DAMAGES:
π° $67.4B global losses (2024)
βοΈ Legal fees + regulatory fines
π Brand destruction
π $14.2K per employee per year in verification time
THE ARCHITECTURE GAP:
WRAPPER APPROACH:
User β LLM β Probabilistic generation β Output
VERIPRAJNA APPROACH:
User β Semantic Router β Routes to:
β’ Chitchat β Neural (LLM handles)
β’ Refund / Price / Legal β Symbolic (Code handles)
THE DETERMINISTIC ACTION LAYER:
πΉ SEMANTIC ROUTING
Detects high-stakes intent (refunds, pricing, legal)
Blocks LLM from creative generation
πΉ HARD-CODED LOGIC
Executes: IF ticket_flown THEN βNo refund per Rule 45β
Returns: Fixed, legally vetted response
πΉ SILENCE PROTOCOL
Disables creativity for compliance topics
Creativity about contracts = Fabrication
πΉ FUNCTION CALLING
LLM extracts parameters β Passes to code β Code decides β LLM only formats
THE RESULT:
Standard wrapper:
βSure! Submit refund claim within 90 days!β
Hallucination β Lawsuit β $67.4B problem
Veriprajna DAL:
βPolicy prohibits refunds after travel. Tariff Rule 45.β
Database truth β Verified β Legally safe
THE TRUTH:
Your chatbot is NOT software.
Itβs a digital employee with apparent authority.
Would you let an untrained employee negotiate contracts?
Then why let an unverified AI do it?
The Moffatt precedent is clear:
IF YOUR AI SAYS IT, YOUR COMPANY SIGNED IT.
