Azure OpenAI does not accumulate knowledge or learn harmful information on its own. It is designed to generate responses based on the input it receives, but it does not have the ability to accumulate knowledge or learn on its own.

However, it is important to note that the quality of the responses generated by Azure OpenAI may depend on the quality of the input it receives. If the input contains harmful or inappropriate content, the responses generated by Azure OpenAI may reflect that content.

Additionally, if you turn off the abuse monitoring service, you may be responsible for monitoring and filtering any harmful content yourself to comply with Japanese laws.

I would suggest you, please go through the Data, privacy, and security for Azure OpenAI Service for more information on this.

How can customers get an exemption from abuse monitoring and human review?

Some customers may want to use the Azure OpenAI Service for a use case that involves the processing of sensitive, highly confidential, or legally-regulated input data but where the likelihood of harmful outputs and/or misuse is low. These customers may conclude that they do not want or do not have the right to permit Microsoft to process such data for abuse detection, as described above, due to their internal policies or applicable legal regulations. To address these concerns, Microsoft allows customers who meet additional Limited Access eligibility criteria and attest to specific use cases to apply to modify the Azure OpenAI content management features by completing this form.

If Microsoft approves a customer's request to modify abuse monitoring, then Microsoft does not store any prompts and completions associated with the approved Azure subscription for which abuse monitoring is configured off. In this case, because no prompts and completions are stored at rest in the Service Results Store, the human review process is not possible and is not performed. See Abuse monitoring for more information.
