AI Safety & Responsible AI
Safety policy
A set of rules defining which AI behaviors or outputs are allowed or restricted.
Example
A written policy defines which violent, sexual, or self-harm content the product may handle.
Why it matters
It gives users and operators a shared basis for deciding what a service should handle.
You'll hear it
“Does the policy allow this educational example?”
Can you control it?
Sometimes
Sometimes. Some products or workflows let you influence a safety policy, while others keep it fixed or manage it automatically. Check the settings and documentation for the tool you are using.
