Limitations

Limitaciones

ChatGPT may produce plausible but incomplete or incorrect content. It does not know the city's actual authority structure, policy, law, budget, staffing, procurement rules, technical environment, or political and operational context unless safely supplied. It cannot approve, certify, score, award, sign, or make an official municipal decision.
ChatGPT puede producir contenido plausible pero incompleto o incorrecto. No conoce la estructura real de autoridad, políticas, ley, presupuesto, personal, procurement, entorno técnico ni contexto político y operacional de la ciudad salvo que se proporcione de forma segura. No puede aprobar, certificar, puntuar, adjudicar, firmar ni tomar decisiones municipales oficiales.

Executive Takeaway

Conclusión ejecutiva

ChatGPT can accelerate municipal work by organizing information, generating questions, exposing gaps, and preparing structured drafts. The city remains responsible for facts, evidence, governance, authority, approvals, records, and final decisions.

ChatGPT puede acelerar el trabajo municipal organizando información, generando preguntas, revelando vacíos y preparando borradores estructurados. La ciudad conserva la responsabilidad sobre hechos, evidencia, gobernanza, autoridad, aprobaciones, records y decisiones finales.
