Harmful Content
Any information or material that can cause damage, distress, or promote illegal activities.

TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Harmful content refers to any digital material, including text, images, or audio, that violates ethical guidelines, platform policies, or legal statutes, encompassing categories like hate speech, harassment, misinformation, explicit content, or incitement to violence, often identified by AI-powered moderation systems.
BACKGROUND
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) that uses generative models to generate text, images, videos, audio, software code or other forms of data. These models learn the underlying patterns and structures of their training data, and use them to generate new data in response to input, which often takes the form of natural language prompts.
