Microsoft unveils Azure AI Content Safety: an AI-based tool for filtering harmful content

Microsoft has unveiled Azure AI Content Safety, a service designed to detect and filter harmful user-generated and AI-generated content in applications and services. The service includes text and image detection to identify offensive, risky, or undesirable content such as profanity, adult content, gore, violence, hate speech, and more.

Azure AI Content Safety has developed into a robust tool for online safety, capable of managing various content categories, languages, and threats. It moderates both text and visual content, providing businesses with a comprehensive approach to online safety.

Key features of Azure AI Content Safety include multilingual proficiency, severity indication, and multi-category filtering such as hate, violence, self-harm, and sexual content. Advanced AI algorithms are used for text and image detection to scan, analyze, and moderate visual content, ensuring comprehensive safety measures are in place.

The service offers a user-friendly experience with various options for integration into workflows. It can be used through its API/SDK integration or via Azure AI Content Safety Studio, a web-based interface.
