Content filtering
Ariicie ● 08/28/2024

O Important

The content filtering system isn't applied to prompts and completions processed by
the Whisper model in Azure OpenAi Service. Learn more about the Whisper model in
Azure OpenAI.

Azure OpenAi Service includes a content filtering system that works alongside core models,
including DALL-E image generation models. This system works by running both the prompt
and completion through an ensemble of classification models designed to detect and
prevent the output of harmful content. The content filtering system detects and takes
action on specific categories of potentially harmful content in both input prompts and
output completions. Variations in API configurations and application design might affect
completions and thus filtering behavior.

The text content filtering models for the hate, sexual, violence, and self-harm categories
have been specifically trained and tested on the following languages: English. German,
Japanese, Spanish, French. Italian, Portuguese, and Chinese. However, the service can work
in many other languages, but the quality might vary. In all cases, you should do your own
testing to ensure that it works for your application.

In addition to the content filtering system, Azure OpenAi Service performs monitoring to
detect content and/or behaviors that suggest use of the service in a manner that might
violate applicable product terms. For more information about understanding and
mitigating risks associated with your application, see the Transparency Note for Azure
OpenAi, For more information about how data is processed for content filtering and abuse
monitoring, see Data, privacy, and security for Azure OpenAi Service.

The following sections provide information about the content filtering categories, the
filtering severity levels and their configurability, and API scenarios to be considered in
application design and implementation.

Content filter types

The content filtering system integrated in the Azure OpenAi Service contains:

128
Case 1:24-cv-02323-MSN-WEF Document 4-26 Filed 12/19/24 Page 3 of 30 PageID# 250

● Neural multi-class classification models aimed at detecting and filtering harmful

content; the models cover four categories (hate, sexual, violence, and self-harm)
across four severity levels (safe, low, medium, and high). Content detected at the 'safe*
severity level is labeled in annotations but isn't subject to filtering and isn't
configurable.
● Other optional classification models aimed at detecting jailbreak risk and known
content for text and code; these models are binary classifiers that flag whether user or
model behavior qualifies as a jailbreak attack or match to known text or source code.
The use of these models is optional, but use of protected material code model may
be required for Customer Copyright Commitment coverage.

Scenario details

When the content filtering system detects harmful content, you receive either an error on
the API call if the prompt was deemed inappropriate, or the finish_reason on the response
will be content_fllter to signify that some of the completion was filtered. When building
your application or system, you'll want to account for these scenarios where the content
returned by the Completions API is filtered, which might result in content that is
incomplete. How you act on this information will be application specific. The behavior can
be summarized in the following points:

● Prompts that are classified at a filtered category and severity level will return an HTTP
400 error.

● Non-streaming completions calls won't return any content when the content is
filtered. The finish_reason value is set to contentjilter. In rare cases with longer
responses, a partial result can be returned. In these cases, the finish_reason is
updated.
● For streaming completions calls, segments are returned back to the user as they're
completed. The service continues streaming until either reaching a stop token, length,
or when content that is classified at a filtered category and severity level is detected.

Document embedding in prompts

A key aspect of Azure OpenAI's Responsible Al measures is the content safety system. This
system runs alongside the core GPT model to monitor any irregularities in the model input
and output. Its performance is improved when it can differentiate between various
elements of your prompt like system input, user input, and Al assistant's output.

For enhanced detection capabilities, prompts should be formatted according to the

following recommended methods.

Chat Completions API

The Chat Completion API is structured by definition. It consists of a list of messages, each
with an assigned role.

The safety system parses this structured format and applies the following behavior;

● On the latest "user" content, the following categories of RAI Risks will be detected:
o Hate

o Sexual
o Violence

o Self-Harm

o Prompt shields (optional)

This is an example message array:

JSON

{"role": “system", "content": "Provide some context and/or instructions to the

model."},
{"role": user", "content": "Example question goes here."},
{"role": assistant", "content": "Example answer goes here."},
{"role": user", "content": "First question/message for the model to actually
respond to."}

Embedding documents in your prompt

In addition to detection on last user content, Azure OpenAI also supports the detection of

specific risks inside context documents via Prompt Shields - Indirect Prompt Attack

147
Case 1:24-cv-02323-MSN-WEF Document 4-26 Filed 12/19/24 Page 22 of 30 PageID# 269

Detection. You should identify parts of the input that are a document (for example,
retrieved website, email, etc.) with the following document delimiter.

<documents>

●insert your document content here“

</documents>

When you do so, the following options are available for detection on tagged documents:

● On each tagged "document" content, detect the following categories:

o Indirect attacks (optional)

Here's an example chat completion messages array:

JSON

{■'role": "system", "content": "Provide some context and/or instructions to the

model, including document context. \"\"\" <docufflents>\n*insert your document
content here'*\n</documents>

{"role": "user", "content": "First question/message for the model to actually

respond to."}

JSON escaping

When you tag unvetted documents for detection, the document content should be JSON-
escaped to ensure successful parsing by the Azure OpenAI safety system.

For example, see the following email body:

Hello lose,

I hope this email finds you well today.

With JSON escaping, it would read:

148
Case 1:24-cv-02323-MSN-WEF Document 4-26 Filed 12/19/24 Page 23 of 30 PageID# 270

Hello Dos\u00£9,\nl hope this email finds you well today.

The escaped text in a chat completion context would read:

JSON

{"role": "system", "content": "Provide some context and/or instructions to the

model, including document context. \"\"\" <documents>\n Hello 3os\\u00E9,\\nl
hope this email finds you well today. \n</documents>

{"role": user", "content": "First question/message for the model to actually

respond to."}

Content streaming
This section describes the Azure OpenAl content streaming experience and options.
Customers can receive content from the API as it's generated, instead of waiting for chunks
of content that have been verified to pass your content filters.

Default

The content filtering system is integrated and enabled by default for all customers. In the
default streaming scenario, completion content is buffered, the content filtering system
runs on the buffered content, and - depending on the content filtering configuration -
content is either returned to the user if it doesn't violate the content filtering policy
(Microsoft's default or a custom user configuration), or it's immediately blocked and
returns a content filtering error, without returning the harmful completion content. This
process is repeated until the end of the stream. Content is fully vetted according to the
content filtering policy before it's returned to the user. Content isn't returned token-by
token in this case, but in "content chunks" of the respective buffer size.

Asynchronous Filter
Customers can choose the Asynchronous Filter as an extra option, providing a new
streaming experience. In this case, content filters are run asynchronously, and completion
content is returned immediately with a smooth token-by-token streaming experience. No
content is buffered, which allows for a fast streaming experience with zero latency

Customers must understand that while the feature improves latency, it’s a trade-off against
the safety and real-time vetting of smaller sections of model output. Because content filters
are run asynchronously, content moderation messages and policy violation signals are
delayed, which means some sections of harmful content that would otherwise have been
filtered immediately could be displayed to the user.

Annotations: Annotations and content moderation messages are continuously returned

during the stream. We strongly recommend you consume annotations in your app and
implement other Al content safety mechanisms, such as redacting content or returning
other safety information to the user.

Content filtering signal: The content filtering error signal is delayed. If there is a policy
violation, it's returned as soon as it's available, and the stream is stopped. The content
filtering signal is guaranteed within a " 1,000-character window of the policy-violating
content.

Customer Copyright Commitment: Content that is retroactively flagged as protected

material may not be eligible for Customer Copyright Commitment coverage.

To enable Asynchronous Filter in Azure Al Foundry portal, follow the Content filter how-to
guide to create a new content filtering configuration, and select Asynchronous Filter in the
Streaming section.

Annotation message
The text field will always be an empty string, indicating no new tokens. Annotations will
only be relevant to already-sent tokens. There may be multiple annotation messages
referring to the same tokens.

"start offset and "end_offset" are low-granularity offsets in text (with 0 at beginning of
prompt) to mark which text the annotation is relevant to.

"check_offset" represents how much text has been fully moderated. It's an exclusive lower
bound on the "end_offset" values of future annotations. It's non-decreasing.

O Important

When content filtering is triggered for a prompt and a "status": 400 is received as
part of the response there will be a charge for this request as the prompt was
evaluated by the service. Due to the asynchronous nature of the content filtering
system, a charge for both the prompt and completion tokens will occur. Charges will

155
Case 1:24-cv-02323-MSN-WEF Document 4-26 Filed 12/19/24 Page 30 of 30 PageID# 277

also occur when a "status”:200 is received with '*finish_reason" :

"content.filter". In this case the prompt did not have any issues, but the completion
generated by the model was detected to violate the content filtering rules which
results in the completion being filtered.

Best practices
As part of your application design, consider the following best practices to deliver a
positive experience with your application while minimizing potential harms:

Decide how you want to handle scenarios where your users send prompts containing
content that is classified at a filtered category and severity level or otherwise misuse
your application.
Check the finish_reason to see if a completion is filtered.
Check that there's no error object in the content_filter_result (indicating that
content filters didn’t run).
If you're using the protected material code model in annotate mode, display the
citation URL when you're displaying the code in your application.
