TrustScore, evidence, and AI

Can AI answers make mistakes?

Yes. AI can misunderstand a question, combine unrelated records, miss a recent change, or summarize a source incorrectly. An AI explanation is not 100 percent factual merely because it sounds confident.

How to check an answer

Use the MC or USDOT identifier, open the cited Trust ID, compare the legal name and location, read the evidence level and reason codes, and confirm time-sensitive facts in the named official source.

High-stakes questions

Do not rely on an AI answer alone for insurance, authority, safety, employment, legal rights, payment, or cargo decisions. Use qualified professionals and primary records where appropriate.

Report a problem

Send the question, answer, cited source, and reason it appears wrong to HSC Support. Do not include passwords, one-time codes, or private evidence.
