Content policy

Also known as: usage policy · safety policy

Security

A content policy is the set of rules defining what a product’s AI is allowed to produce or do.

  • What topics are off-limits.
  • What formats/outputs are disallowed.
  • How refusals and edge cases should be handled.

Why write it down: a policy turns "be safe" (vague) into checkable rules. It's the reference for red teaming, evals, and user expectations alike.
