New and improved content moderation tooling

# New and improved content moderation tooling Source: [https://openai.com/index/new-and-improved-content-moderation-tooling/](https://openai.com/index/new-and-improved-content-moderation-tooling/) To help developers protect their applications against possible misuse, we are introducing the faster and more accurate[Moderation endpoint⁠\(opens in a new window\)](https://beta.openai.com/docs/api-reference/moderations)\. This endpoint provides OpenAI API developers with free access to[GPT‑based⁠](https://openai.com/index/customized-gpt-3/)classifiers that detect undesired content—an instance of[using AI systems⁠](https://openai.com/index/critiques/)to assist with human supervision of these systems\. We have also released both a[technical paper⁠\(opens in a new window\)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.03274)describing our methodology and the[dataset⁠\(opens in a new window\)](https://github.com/openai/moderation-api-release)used for evaluation\. When given a text input, the Moderation endpoint assesses whether the content is sexual, hateful, violent, or promotes self\-harm—content prohibited by our[content policy⁠\(opens in a new window\)](https://beta.openai.com/docs/usage-guidelines/content-policy)\. The endpoint has been trained to be quick, accurate, and to perform robustly across a range of applications\. Importantly, this reduces the chances of products “saying” the wrong thing, even when deployed to users at\-scale\. As a consequence, AI can unlock benefits in sensitive settings, like education, where it could not otherwise be used with confidence\.
