Usage Policy

We aim for our tools to be used safely and responsibly, while maximizing your control over how you use them. In building our Usage Policies, we keep a few important things in mind.

• We empower users to innovate with AI. We build AI products that maximize helpfulness and freedom, while ensuring safety. Usage Policies are one way we set expectations for use of our products within a broader safety ecosystem. Responsible use is a shared priority. Our terms and policies set a reasonable bar for acceptable use. Our rules are no substitute for legal requirements, professional duties, or ethical obligations. Breaking or circumventing safeguards may mean you lose access to our systems or face other penalties.
• We build with safety first. We monitor and enforce policies with privacy safeguards in place and clear review processes.
• We update as we learn. People are using our systems in new ways every day, and we update our rules to ensure they are not overly restrictive or to better protect users. We reserve all rights to withhold access where we reasonably believe it necessary to protect our service, users, or anyone else.
