We employ automated content moderation systems to scan user inputs and AI-generated outputs for prohibited content. Moderation includes:

  • Output filtering: Generated content is evaluated for safety before delivery
  • Pattern analysis: Abnormal API usage patterns are monitored
  • Human review: Flagged content undergoes manual review by our trust and safety team

Our moderation system employs multi-stage scanning: pre-generation prompt scanning, post-generation output evaluation, and asynchronous scanning for publicly published content. We maintain an actively updated prohibited terms list covering: adult/NSFW content terminology, child exploitation terms, copyrighted brand/trademark names, violence, hate speech, self-harm, and deepfake/famous person/political figure references.
