Human Exploitation
Content or AI behavior that promotes, facilitates, or normalizes the abuse, trafficking, coercion, or exploitation of individuals.
What is Human Exploitation?
In the context of AI safety, human exploitation can involve using AI to facilitate abusive or manipulative activities such as trafficking, coercion, grooming, sexual exploitation, or other forms of harm. Generative AI may also be misused to create deceptive content, automate harmful interactions, or target vulnerable individuals. AI safety systems can help identify and restrict content or requests associated with such activities.
Why is Human Exploitation Important?
AI can increase the scale and speed at which harmful actors target or manipulate individuals. Strong safeguards help prevent AI systems from facilitating exploitation while supporting legitimate uses such as education, prevention, research, and victim protection.
Common use cases
Human exploitation safeguards are commonly applied in generative AI platforms, content moderation, online communities, social platforms, trust and safety systems, and AI-powered communication tools.
